"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced
in the RHSA-2025:3123 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 sandbox breakout through attr filter selecting format method
(CVE-2025-27516)
* python3-jinja2/python39-jinja2: Jinja sandbox breakout through attr filter selecting format method
(CVE-2025-27516)
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:
* Fixed an issue where Insights projects were failing on OCP AAP, due to incorrectly specifying the 'extra
vars' path (AAP-41875)
* Fixed an issue where the system auditor could download the execution node install bundle (AAP-39799)
* Fixed the behavior of the project's 'requirements.yml' to no longer revert to a prior state in a cluster
(AAP-39228)
* automation-controller has been updated to 4.5.20
Updates and fixes for automation hub:
* Added a migration file to set the default value of retain_repo_versions to 1 for validated repositories
(AAP-42004)
* automation-hub/python3-galaxy-ng/python39-galaxy-ng has been updated to 4.9.3
* python3-pulpcore/python39-pulpcore has been updated to 3.28.37
Additional changes:
* python3-jinja2/python39-jinja2 has been updated to 3.1.6
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
