CVE-2012-5648: Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Foreman before 1.0.2 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary...

Security readout for executives and security teams

Foreman versions before 1.0.2 had multiple SQL injection flaws in its search-related code. A remote attacker could potentially run arbitrary database commands through unspecified parameters. For executives, the concern is exposure of infrastructure management data and possible database tampering where old Foreman deployments remain reachable. Exposure is most likely in legacy Foreman deployments older than 1.0.2. Risk is higher where the Foreman service is reachable by untrusted users or broad internal networks. The source bundle does not identify affected CPEs or specific distributions. Treat this as a high-priority legacy exposure issue if Foreman is still deployed. The vulnerability is old, but SQL injection in an infrastructure management platform can create meaningful business risk when unpatched systems remain reachable. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Foreman deployments before 1.0.2 to version 1.0.2 or later.; Review the linked Foreman commit and vendor guidance for the exact corrective change.; Restrict network access to Foreman management interfaces to trusted administrative users..
