What is CVE-2026-86322?

A security flaw exists in Foreman's API where the method responsible for finding user accounts fails to enforce necessary authorization checks. An attacker with permissions to create personal access tokens can exploit this vulnerability by making API calls to generate access tokens for other users, including administrators. This results in the attacker obtaining a valid plaintext token, enabling them to impersonate the victim and potentially gain complete control over their account.
