CVE-2015-3199
Description
[REJECTED CVE] It was found that the Foreman Discovery plug-in's auto provision rules did not correctly enforce group association to an organization or a location.
Steps to reproduce:
- log in with a user that has 2 locations (A, B)
- discover a host and make sure it is connected to location B
- create a hostgroup in location A
- create a discovery rule in location B to match the discovered host and use the hostgroup from 3
- log in with a user with permissions to location B only
- you can see in the discovery rules index page the rule with the hostgroup you created (you can't access the hostgroup)
- auto provision the discovered host
- go to hosts - the host was provisioned using a hostgroup the second user doesn't have permissions for
Statement

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Application Data; Read Files or Directories
An attacker could read sensitive data, either by reading the data directly from a data store that is not properly restricted, or by accessing insufficiently-protected, privileged functionality to read the data.
Integrity
Technical Impact: Modify Application Data; Modify Files or Directories
An attacker could modify sensitive data, either by writing the data directly to a data store that is not properly restricted, or by accessing insufficiently-protected, privileged functionality to write the data.
Access Control
Technical Impact: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity; Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
When access control checks are not applied consistently - or not at all - an attacker could gain privileges and execute unauthorized code or commands by modifying or reading critical data directly, or by accessing insufficiently-protected, privileged functionality.
