CVE-2017-2667 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. Hammer CLI, a CLI utility for Foreman, before version 0.10.0, did not explicitly set the verify_ssl flag for apipie-bindings that disable it by default. As a result the server certificates are not checked and connections are prone to man-in-the-middle attacks.. EPSS estimates a 0.73% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
