The foreman-rake initialization logic in /usr/share/foreman/config/settings.rb contains a vulnerable code pattern where configuration data is processed through two distinct executable layers. This creates a multi-stage execution chain that allows for both Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) and insecure deserialization. This vulnerability can lead to remote code execution, total infrastructure compromise and supply chain risk.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **RHSA-2026:74506** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Satellite 6.16 for RHEL 8, Red Hat Satellite 6.16 for RHEL 9 · released 2026-10-01 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:74506)\n- **RHSA-2026:74504** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Satellite 6.18 for RHEL 9 · released 2026-10-01 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:74504)\n- **RHSA-2026:74503** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Satellite 6.19 for RHEL 9 · released 2026-10-01 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:74503)\n- **Red Hat VEX** · Important · affected: Red Hat Satellite 6 · no fix planned: Red Hat Satellite 6 · updated 2026-10-02 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-12544.json)","depth":"twilight","depthScore":42,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":42.4,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
