## Affected components
- RubyGems katello: affected <= 3.10

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- RubyGems katello: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on katello.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
