AI-suggested

Red Hat advises avoiding RHSM offline token validation through the Cockpit Machines 'Download an OS' or RHEL image download flow on multi-user hosts where untrusted local users can inspect process metadata until a fixed package is installed. As a system-level mitigation, restrict /proc visibility by remounting /proc with the hidepid=2 mount option to prevent unprivileged users from reading other users' process command lines. Fixed cockpit-machines packages are being released for affected streams; updating to these fixed packages resolves the issue.

Description

A local information disclosure vulnerability exists in cockpit-machines on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. The flaw exposes a sensitive Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) offline token via process command-line arguments during token validation. An attacker with local access and the ability to inspect process metadata can disclose this token, potentially compromising confidentiality. The vulnerability requires low privileges but user interaction and local access. Mitigations include restricting /proc visibility and avoiding token validation on multi-user systems until a fixed package is installed.
