Descriptions

The create method in app/controllers/users_controller.rb in Foreman before 1.2.0-RC2 allows remote authenticated users with permissions to create or edit other users to gain privileges by (1) changing the admin flag or (2) assigning an arbitrary role.

El método "create" en app/controllers/users_controller.rb en Foreman anterior a 1.2.0-RC2, permite a usuarios autenticados remotamente con permisos para crear o editar otros usuarios elevar sus privilegios mediante (1) modificando el flag de admin o (2) asignando un rol arbitrario.

A flaw was found in the create method of the Foreman Bookmarks controller. A user with privileges to create a bookmark could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Foreman, giving them control of the system running Foreman and all systems managed by Foreman.
