Security Flaw in Hammer CLI Utility Affecting Foreman by Red Hat

CVE-2017-2667

What is CVE-2017-2667?

The Hammer CLI utility for Foreman, prior to version 0.10.0, contains a security flaw where it fails to explicitly set the verify_ssl flag for apipie-bindings. This oversight results in server certificates not being checked, leaving connections vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. Attackers can exploit this lack of certificate verification to intercept and manipulate communications between the client and the server, posing serious security risks to users and their data.
