CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA command injection vulnerability in the foreman-rake errors:fetch_log task allows attackers with sudo permissions to exploit the request_id parameter, enabling them to inject shell metacharacters and execute arbitrary code. This high-severity flaw poses a significant risk to systems using Foreman, particularly those where users have elevated privileges. Organizations utilizing Foreman should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate potential exploitation.
Original NVD Description
A flaw was found in Foreman. A command injection vulnerability exists in the foreman-rake errors:fetch_log task. The request_id parameter is passed to an underlying system command (typically grep) without adequate shell neutralization. While the task is intended to fetch specific log entries, an attacker with sudo permissions to execute this rake task can inject shell metacharacters (such as ;, ", or |) to break out of the intended command and execute arbitrary code.
