CVE-2026-86322

A flaw was found in Foreman’s Api::V2::PersonalAccessTokensController, where Foreman::Controller::UserAware#finduser resolves the target account using User.find(params[:userid]) without applying the required parent-user authorization check. An attacker with the createpersonalaccesstokens permission can therefore invoke POST /api/v2/users/:userid/personalaccesstokens with another user’s ID and create a Personal Access Token on their behalf. The resulting plaintext token is returned in the API response, while PersonalAccessToken#checkpermissionsaftersave only validates createpersonalaccesstokens on the token and does not enforce editusers authorization on the target user. The attacker can then use the forged token to authenticate as the victim, potentially resulting in complete account takeover, including administrator accounts.
