Red Hat Satellite 6.16 for RHEL 8: Permissive List of Allowed Inputs
CVE-2026-107360 is a critical-severity permissive list of allowed inputs vulnerability in Red Hat Satellite 6.16 for RHEL 8 from Red Hat, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.6 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.51% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.

Official description
A flaw was found in rubygem-safemode. Compound assignment expressions in sandboxed code are evaluated without mediating method calls through the Jail allow-list. An authenticated attacker who can supply template content can invoke arbitrary no-argument methods on objects exposed to the template renderer without Jail mediation, including destructive operations such as host deletion and disclosure of non-allow-listed object state.

The underlying weakness: Permissive List of Allowed Inputs
The product implements a protection mechanism that relies on a list of inputs (or properties of inputs) that are explicitly allowed by policy because the inputs are assumed to be safe, but the list is too permissive - that is, it allows an input that is unsafe, leading to resultant weaknesses.
