Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: satellite/foreman-mcp-server-rhel9 container image available as a Technology Preview
Severity
Important
Notes
Topic: A new satellite/foreman-mcp-server-rhel9 container image is now available as a Technology Preview in the Red Hat container registry.
Details: Satellite provides a container image that you can use to run an MCP server locally. The MCP server for Satellite is designed for advanced reporting and data analysis that leverages AI capabilities. You can use it to generate dynamic and comprehensive reports from your Satellite inventory.

A flaw was found in foreman-mcp-server. This component utilizes two distinct logging mechanisms that can expose sensitive session and authentication data. One mechanism logs session identifiers, which are treated as authentication credentials, at an informational level. The other, when debug logging is enabled, incompletely sanitizes HTTP request headers, leading to the cleartext logging of sensitive information such as authorization tokens and API keys. This vulnerability can result in a confidentiality breach, as sensitive authentication data is persisted in plain text within container logs, increasing the risk if logs are forwarded to a centralized platform.

Threats
Impact Moderate

A flaw was found in the foreman-mcp-server. A session management vulnerability in the MCP Server allows unauthenticated attackers to hijack active administrative sessions due to an improper cache of authenticated client connections, by trusting a non-secret session ID without re-validating authentication tokens and by logging all newly created session IDs to standard logs. This issue can result in privilege escalation and infrastructure-wide code execution.
