Descriptions

The (1) Organization and (2) Locations APIs in Foreman before 1.11.3 and 1.12.x before 1.12.0-RC1 allow remote authenticated users with unlimited filters to bypass organization and location restrictions and read or modify data for an arbitrary organization by leveraging knowledge of the id of that organization.

Las APIs (1) Organization y (2) Locations en Foreman en versiones anteriores a 1.11.3 y 1.12.x en versiones anteriores a 1.12.0-RC1 permiten a usuarios remotos autenticados con filtros ilimitados eludir restricciones de organización y localización y leer o modificar datos de una organización arbitraria aprovechando el conocimiento de la id de esa organización.

It was found that Satellite 6 did not properly enforce access controls on certain resources. An attacker, with access to the API and knowledge of the ID name, can potentially access other resources in other organizations.
