A flaw was found in Foreman

Red Hat · Red Hat Satellite 6.16 for RHEL 8

Summary

A flaw in Foreman, as shipped in Red Hat Satellite 6.16 for RHEL 8, lets authenticated users reach template preview endpoints that disclose sensitive data such as host root passwords. An attacker needs only low-privilege Viewer credentials and network access to the endpoints, with no user interaction required; where Safemode protections are disabled by insecure configuration, the same flaw may also allow arbitrary command execution as the Foreman system account.
