"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as
referenced in the RHSA-2025:0721 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: Jinja has a sandbox breakout through indirect reference to format method
    (CVE-2024-56326)
    * automation-controller: Jinja has a sandbox breakout through malicious filenames (CVE-2024-56201)
    * automation-controller: Potential SQL injection in HasKey(lhs, rhs) on Oracle (CVE-2024-53908)
    * python3-jinja2/python39-jinja2: Jinja has a sandbox breakout through indirect reference to format method
    (CVE-2024-56326)
    * python3-jinja2/python39-jinja2: Jinja has a sandbox breakout through malicious filenames
    (CVE-2024-56201)

    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 included for automation controller:
    * Fixed an issue where the traceback from host_metric_summary_monthly task caused a type comparison error
    (AAP-37486)
    * Fixed an issue where the order of source inventories was not respected by the ansible.controller
    collection (AAP-38511)
    * automation-controller has been updated to 4.5.17

    Updates and fixes for installer and setup:
    * Fixed an issue where setting the pg_host= without any other context would result in an empty HOST
    section of settings.py in controller (AAP-38030)
    * Fixed an issue where Automation Hub backup would fail when automationhub_pg_port= (AAP-31261)
    * Fixed an issue where providing the database installation a custom port would break the installation of
    postgres (AAP-31260)
    * Setup script now warns if provided log path does not have write permission and fails if default path
    does not have write permission (AAP-18204)
    * installer and setup have been updated to 2.4-9

    Additional fixes:
    * python3-jinja2/python39-jinja2 has been updated to 3.1.5
    * python3-pulpcore/python39-pulpcore has been updated to 3.28.26
