CVE-2026-12540 is an OS command-injection vulnerability in Foreman's foreman-rake errors:fetch_log task. The task passes the user-controlled request_id parameter to an underlying system command, typically grep, without adequate shell neutralization. An attacker authorized to execute the task through sudo can supply shell metacharacters to escape the intended log-search command and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the invoked task.
