CVE-2017-2672: A flaw was found in foreman before version 1.15 in the logging of adding and registering images.

A flaw was found in foreman before version 1.15 in the logging of adding and registering images. An attacker with access to the foreman log file would be able to view passwords for provisioned systems in the log file, allowing them to access those systems.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Foreman could write passwords for provisioned systems into logs when images were added or registered. Anyone who can read those logs could use the exposed passwords to access those systems. This is mainly a credential-exposure issue, not a remote code execution flaw. Exposure is likely limited to environments running affected Foreman versions where Foreman logs are readable by unauthorized users, support staff, log collectors, or compromised low-privilege accounts. Treat this as a moderate-priority credential exposure risk. Prioritize remediation where Foreman manages sensitive systems or logs are broadly accessible, centralized, or retained long term. Mitigation focus: Apply Foreman or Red Hat vendor guidance, including RHSA-2018:0336 where applicable.; Upgrade affected Foreman deployments according to the vendor-supported fixed release path.; Restrict Foreman log access to administrators and required service accounts only..
