Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an authorization flaw in Foreman's GraphQL API. It allows users with low privileges to access metadata that they should not be able to see according to their assigned permissions. The issue arises because, unlike the REST API which enforces access controls properly, the GraphQL endpoint fails to apply the correct filtering, resulting in an authorization bypass.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is that unauthorized users with limited privileges can gain access to sensitive metadata beyond their allowed scope. This could lead to information disclosure, potentially exposing confidential or sensitive data that should be restricted.
