    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):

    * python3-django/python39-django: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in django.utils.text.wrap()
    (CVE-2025-26699)

    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:

    Automation controller
    * Updated license mechanism to allow users to provide username and password when fetching subscriptions
    via the API and AAP User Interface (AAP-46837)
    * Fixes Workflow Visualizer occasionally freezing with higher node counts (AAP-46620)
    * Fixed 'useThrottle' so the Jobs List page does not spam the API when websocket events roll in
    (AAP-46551)
    * Fixed analytics collector failure to clean up temporary files after failed upload to Hybrid Cloud
    Console (AAP-45967)
    * Updated dispatcher to recycle idle workers based on age, or after completing last task. Extended the
    default maximum age to 4 hours, configurable by setting 'WORKER_MAX_LIFETIME_SECONDS' to desirable time,
    or setting to None to disable worker recycling (AAP-45948)
    * Updated help text on the credentials creation page (AAP-45499)
    * Added a bulk update sorting utility method to prevent database deadlocks and normalize batch size
    (AAP-45122)
    * Replaced basic auth with service account authentication for AAP Subscription management (AAP-44642)
    * Updated banner on the Credentials form (specifically for Insights credentials) to inform the user to
    enter client ID and secret to create an Insights credential (AAP-43235)
    * Updated field names and help text in the System Settings UI to indicate client ID and client secret for
    service accounts, as well as client ID and client secret for Analytics (AAP-43161)
    * Updated banner and field names in the Subscription editing UI to indicate that Ansible subscriptions now
    require a service account from Hybrid Cloud Console (AAP-43160)
    * automation-controller has been updated to 4.5.23

    Automation hub
    * Restricted EE pull access to explicitly authorized users (AAP-46525)
    * automation-hub has been updated to 4.9.4
    * python3-galaxy-ng/python39-galaxy-ng has been updated to 4.9.4
    * python3-pulp-ansible/python39-pulp-ansible has been updated to 0.20.11
