Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-1961 exists.\n\nAffected product: Redhat Satellite. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-1961/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-1961/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-1961","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-1961/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-1961","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fh2w-2c26-vpg5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Red Hat Satellite","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on Foreman servers via command injection in the WebSocket proxy when accessing VNC consoles.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"satellite","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"foreman","vendor":"theforeman"}],"cvss":{"score":8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"A flaw was found in Foreman. A remote attacker could exploit a command injection vulnerability in Foreman's WebSocket proxy implementation. This vulnerability arises from the system's use of unsanitized hostname values from compute resource providers when constructing shell commands. By operating a malicious compute resource server, an attacker could achieve remote code execution on the Foreman server when a user accesses VM VNC console functionality. This could lead to the compromise of sensitive credentials and the entire managed infrastructure.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-09-17","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-09-17T19:16:49Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/kalnux/CVE-2026-1961-foreman-poc","stars":0,"title":"PoC for CVE-2026-1961 — command injection in Foreman's WebSocket proxy (lib/ws_proxy.rb) via unsanitized compute resource hostname, leading to RCE as the foreman user.
