DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in rubygem-foreman_remote_execution. A command injection vulnerability exists in the Red Hat Satellite API (/api/v2/job_invocations). When a job template has the effective_user property marked as overridable: true, the application fails to properly sanitize the effective_user input provided during the API request. The exploitation does not rely on the content or logic of the Job Template/playbook itself; rather, the injection occurs during the instantiation of the job execution environment by the Satellite server. An attacker with permissions to execute job templates can inject arbitrary shell commands into this parameter, which are executed on the target infrastructure with the privileges of the execution user.

AnalysisAI

Command injection in the Red Hat Satellite job invocation API (/api/v2/job_invocations), shipped via the rubygem-foreman_remote_execution plugin, lets an authenticated Satellite user who holds job-template execution permissions run arbitrary shell commands on managed hosts. The injection only applies to job templates whose effective_user property is configured as overridable: true, in which case the user-supplied value is not sanitized before the Satellite server instantiates the job execution environment, so the payload executes during instantiation rather than through the template or playbook content itself. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concrete prerequisites: (1) an authenticated Satellite account possessing permission to execute job templates; (2) a target job template whose effective_user property is configured as overridable: true (a non-default, per-template setting) so the value can be supplied in the API call; and (3) the ability to reach the /api/v2/job_invocations API endpoint over the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine high-priority issue rather than an inflated CVSS score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the vendor erratum for this CVE, Red Hat Satellite RHSA-2026:74503 (https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:74503), which is the authoritative fix path; the advisory references CVE-2026-12405 and Bugzilla 2488952 for the corresponding rubygem-foreman_remote_execution/Satellite updates. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory every Red Hat Satellite deployment and confirm the presence and version of the rubygem-foreman_remote_execution plugin, then audit all job templates for an effective_user property set to overridable: true and immediately switch those to overridable: false or remove the override capability, since this is the pre-condition the injection depends on; in parallel, review who holds job-template execution and remote-execution permissions and remove them from any account that does not strictly require them. …
