Subject: CVE-2016-3693: Foreman application information leakage through
templates
CVE-2016-3693: Foreman application information leakage through template
rendering
A provisioning template containing `inspect` will expose sensitive
information about the Rails controller and application when rendered
when using Safemode rendering (the default setting). This includes the
application secret token, possibly permitting a privilege escalation
when the app is using signed cookies.
Thanks to Ivan Necas for reporting the issue.
As a precaution, the security token may be regenerated with:
chown foreman /usr/share/foreman/config/initializers/local_secret_token.rb
foreman-rake security:generate_token
chown root /usr/share/foreman/config/initializers/local_secret_token.rb
Mitigation: remove edit_provisioning_templates from untrusted users.
Affects all known Foreman versions
Fix released in Foreman 1.11.1 and safemode 1.2.4
Patches:
1. The safemode gem (https://rubygems.org/gems/safemode) was patched to
disallow the inspect instance method:
https://github.com/svenfuchs/safemode/commit/0f764a1720a3a68fd2842e21377c8bfad6d7126f
2. Foreman was patched to use this in
https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/commit/82f9b93c54f72c5814df6bab7fad057eab65b2f2
