"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2024:10762 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing
    IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to
    individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing
    knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an
    organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless
    language.

    Security Fix(es):
    * automation-controller: dompurify: XSS vulnerability via prototype pollution (CVE-2024-45801)
    * automation-controller: path-to-regexp: Backtracking regular expressions cause ReDoS (CVE-2024-45296)
    * ansible-core: Exposure of Sensitive Information in Ansible Vault Files Due to Improper Logging
    (CVE-2024-8775)
    * ansible-core: ansible-core user may read/write unauthorized content (CVE-2024-9902)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and
    other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

    Updates and fixes for automation controller:
    * Fix job schedules running at incorrect times when rrule interval was set to HOURLY or MINUTELY
    (AAP-36573)
    * Fixed an issue where sensitive data was displayed in the job output (AAP-35582)
    * With this update, you can now save a constructed inventory when verbosity is greater than 2 (AAP-35570)
    * Fix bug where unrelated jobs could be marked as a dependency of other jobs (AAP-35310)
    * Add support for receiving webhooks from Bitbucket Data Center, and add support for posting build
    statuses back (AAP-35013)
    * Notification List no longer errors when notifications have a missing or null organization field
    (AAP-34051)
    * Fixed an issue where Thycotic secret server credentials form fields were mis-matched (AAP-31236)
    * automation-controller has been updated to 4.5.13

    Updates and fixes for receptor:
    * Fixed an issue that caused a Receptor runtime panic error (AAP-36477)
    * receptor has been updated to 1.5.1

    Updates and fixes for installer and setup:
    * Receptor data directory can now be configured using 'receptor_datadir' variable (AAP-36699)
    * Fixed issue where metrics-utility command failed to run after updating Automation controller (AAP-36567)
    * Fix issue where the dispatcher service went into FATAL status and failed to process new jobs after a
    database outage of a few minutes (AAP-36456)
    * Fixed an issue that caused incorrect IDs for RBAC in the database following a backup restore (AAP-35311)
    * With this update, installer tasks that include CA or key information are obfuscated (AAP-27480)
    * installer and setup have been updated to 2.4-8

    Note: The 2.4-8 installer can restore a backup created with 2.4-8 or later only. Ensure that you make a
    backup before and after the upgrade to 2.4-8 or later.
