A logic error in valid_role() in CloudForms role validation before 5.7.1.3 could allow a tenant administrator to create groups with a higher privilege level than the tenant administrator should have. This would allow an attacker with tenant administration access to elevate privileges.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects Red Hat CloudForms role validation. A user who already has tenant administrator access could create groups with privileges above their intended level, turning limited administrative access into broader control. It is not a remote unauthenticated issue, but it matters where tenant administration is delegated to less-trusted users. Exposure is likely limited to Red Hat CloudForms/cfme environments where tenant administrators exist and the affected role-validation path is reachable. Systems without delegated tenant administration, or already updated according to Red Hat guidance, have lower practical exposure. Treat as a moderate-priority authorization issue. Prioritize environments with delegated tenant administration, shared-tenancy operations, or compliance sensitivity, because successful abuse changes who can control management functions. Mitigation focus: Review Red Hat advisory RHSA-2017:0320 for the supported update path.; Update affected CloudForms/cfme deployments according to vendor guidance.; Restrict tenant administrator assignments to trusted users until verified fixed..
