NameCVE-2026-113495
DescriptionA flaw was found in cockpit-machines. Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) authentication tokens are passed as command-line arguments to background helper processes during image retrieval operations.

This flaw can lead to information disclosure, potentially allowing unauthorized access to RHSM resources within the token's validity period.
