CVE-2016-8613 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:7 foreman-cli to version 0:1.15.6.34-1.el7sat or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2018:0336.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream foreman-cli package and not the foreman-cli package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
A flaw was found in foreman 1.5.1. The remote execution plugin runs commands on hosts over SSH from the Foreman web UI. When a job is submitted that contains HTML tags, the console output shown in the web UI does not escape the output causing any HTML or JavaScript to run in the user's browser. The output of the job is stored, making this a stored XSS vulnerability.
