Description

Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine delivers the insight, control,
and automation needed to address the challenges of managing virtual
environments. CloudForms Management Engine is built on Ruby on Rails,
a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for web application
development. Action Pack implements the controller and the view
components.

• An input validation flaw was found in the way CloudForms regular
  expressions were passed to the expression engine via the JSON API and the
  web-based UI. A user with the ability to view collections and filter them
  could use this flaw to execute arbitrary shell commands on the host with
  the privileges of the CloudForms process. (CVE-2016-7040)
  

This issue was discovered by Tim Wade (Red Hat).
