The foreman-rake initialization logic in /usr/share/foreman/config/settings.rb contains a vulnerable code pattern where configuration data is processed through two distinct executable layers. This creates a multi-stage execution chain that allows for both Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) and insecure deserialization. This vulnerability can lead to remote code execution, total infrastructure compromise and supply chain risk.","published":"2026-10-01T17:17:20.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-08T13:15:53.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"secalert@redhat.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.7,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-502"],"affected":["redhat/satellite","theforeman/foreman"],"epss":{"score":0.00225,"percentile":0.13155,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-10-02","score":0.00217,"percentile":0.10978}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.22%).
