rubygem-safemode, as used in Foreman, versions 1.3.2 and earlier are vulnerable to bypassing safe mode limitations via special Ruby syntax. This can lead to deletion of objects for which the user does not have delete permissions or possibly to privilege escalation.

Weakness

The product implements a protection mechanism that relies on a list of inputs (or properties of inputs) that are not allowed by policy or otherwise require other action to neutralize before additional processing takes place, but the list is incomplete, leading to resultant weaknesses.
