    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):

    * receptor: quic-go Crash Due to Premature HANDSHAKE_DONE Frame (CVE-2025-59530)

    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:
    * Python has been updated to 3.11 (AAP-53469)
    * Nginx has been updated to 1.24 (AAP-53989 and AAP-53990)

    authentication (AAP-56060)
    * Fixed an issue in receptor where some edge cases caused JSON to fail to parse (AAP-55917)
    * Fixed an issue in ansible-runner where there was not a meaningful error message whenever the streaming
    of logs was aborted
    * ansible-runner has been updated to 2.3.7
    * automation-controller has been updated to 4.5.27
    * receptor has been updated to 1.6.2

    Installer and setup

    * RHEL minimum version has been updated to 8.10 and 9.4 (AAP-56387)
    * installer and setup have been updated to 2.4-14
