Summary
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.
Exploit prediction (EPSS)
2.40% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 84% of all scored CVEs.
