    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-platform-ui: Axios: Denial of Service due to unenforced request and response size limits
    (CVE-2026-44488)
    * automation-platform-ui: Axios: Information disclosure due to prototype pollution vulnerability
    (CVE-2026-44495)
    * automation-platform-ui: fast-uri: URI authority bypass due to improper delimiter handling
    (CVE-2026-6322)
    * automation-platform-ui: Axios: Arbitrary HTTP header injection via prototype pollution (CVE-2026-42035)
    * automation-platform-ui: DOMPurify: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via inconsistent tag sanitization
    (CVE-2026-41240)
    * automation-platform-ui: protobufjs: Arbitrary code execution due to unsafe expression generation from
    crafted protobuf descriptors (CVE-2026-44293)
    * python3.12-pyjwt: Authentication bypass due to forged JSON Web Tokens (CVE-2026-48526)
    * automation-controller: Dynaconf: Arbitrary code execution via Server-Side Template Injection
    (CVE-2026-33154)
    * python3.12-urllib3: Information disclosure via cross-origin redirects forwarding sensitive headers
    (CVE-2026-44431)
    * python3.12-urllib3: Denial of Service due to excessive HTTP response decompression (CVE-2026-44432)

    other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
