CVE-2026-96659 is an authorization vulnerability in Foreman template preview endpoints that grants excessive access to authenticated users assigned the low-privilege Viewer role. Crafted preview requests can retrieve sensitive host attributes intended for higher-privileged administrators, including host root passwords. If template Safemode protections are disabled, exploitation may additionally permit arbitrary command execution as the Foreman system account. Command execution is also described as possible when Safemode is circumvented, but is not established for configurations with effective Safemode protections.
