Description

A vulnerability in cockpit-machines allows a local attacker with process metadata inspection capabilities to disclose a sensitive Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) offline token. The token is exposed when passed as a command-line argument to a helper script during token validation. This exposure could lead to confidentiality compromise by enabling unauthorized requests for access tokens. The issue affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related variants. A security update addressing this vulnerability is available from Red Hat.
