Summary
A flaw was found in Foreman where a broken access control vulnerability allows an authenticated user with host-edit permissions to retarget an existing lookup value override to a different host. This is achieved by modifying the match field through nested host attributes, effectively bypassing authorization checks.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves potential unauthorized modification of managed host configurations across different organizational and location boundaries, which could compromise environment integrity and security.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately update Foreman to the latest patched version and implement additional access controls for lookup value override operations.
