automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: Ad-hoc command limit field allows CLI argument injection into ansible executable

RunAdHocCommand.buildargs appends limit as bare positional args.appendlimit instead of using args.extend'-l', limit like RunJob. A limit beginning with - is parsed as an ansible CLI option. Currently limited to short-circuit flags --version, --help since injected element displaces required patter...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: view_jobtemplate to execute privilege escalation via host_config_key exposure and X-Forwarded-For spoofing of provisioning-callback host match

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. The provisioning-callback secret hostconfigkey is exposed to users holding only the read-level viewjobtemplate permission -- both in the job template API representation and in the activity stream -- and the...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: Project scm_url argument injection into `git ls-remote --upload-pack` yields RCE on the controller-task control-plane pod

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. The Project scmurl field is not validated against values that begin with a dash and is stored and passed verbatim to the git SCM module. Because the module runs git ls-remote with the URL as a positional argument an...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: missing use_role authorization on the project signature validation credential foreign key allows a project administrator to bind and use another organization's credential cross-tenant

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. A project has a signature validation credential foreign key used to validate signed project content. Unlike the project's SCM credential, the authorization logic does not verify that the requesting user has use...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: format string injection in the API 4XX error log setting discloses Django SECRET_KEY and database credentials to an administrator

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. The setting that formats the log message emitted for API 4XX errors is an administrator-controlled Python format-string template that is rendered with a live user object as an argument. Because Python string...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: execution environment credential foreign key is not use-permission checked, allowing an organization execution-environment admin to bind and disclose another organization's container registry credential (cross-tenant credential disclosure)

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller. When creating or editing an execution environment, the controller does not verify that the requesting user has use permission on the container registry credential referenced by the execution environment; it validates...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: Credential Type env-injector deny-list omits process-hijacking variables (BASH_ENV/LD_PRELOAD) allowing code execution in the execution environment

A flaw was found in Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller. The custom Credential Type environment-variable injector validates variable names against a deny-list an ANSIBLE prefix check plus a fixed ENVBLOCKLIST that omits process-hijacking loader variables such as BASHENV, ENV,...

automation-controller: automation-controller: client IP spoofing in audit/access logs via unrestricted X-Forwarded-For trust

A flaw was found in the Ansible Automation Platform automation-controller. In the shipped production configuration, the Controller trusts the client-supplied X-Forwarded-For header as the request's client IP without verifying that it originated from a trusted proxy, and selects the leftmost...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: write-only survey password recovered in plaintext via Schedule/WorkflowJobTemplateNode survey min/max validation error message

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. Survey questions of type password are write-only and stored encrypted, displayed only as a placeholder on read. When a schedule or workflow job template node is revalidated against a tightened survey specification,...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: organization galaxy credential attachment checks only read permission on the credential, allowing an organization admin with read-only visibility to bind and server-side-use another tenant's Automation Hub API token

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. When attaching a Galaxy or Automation Hub credential to an organization through the galaxycredentials relationship endpoint, the controller verifies only that the requesting user can read the credential, rather than...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: stored cross-site scripting in the job stdout HTML view via ANSI OSC 8 hyperlink sequences (javascript: anchor) enabling session takeover

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. The HTML view of job, ad hoc command, project update, and inventory update standard output escapes HTML metacharacters but does not remove ANSI terminal escape sequences before conversion to HTML. An ANSI OSC 8...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: constructed inventory input inventory attachment checks only read permission on the source inventory, allowing a read-only user to clone another tenant's hosts and secrets and run ad hoc commands against them

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. When attaching a source inventory to a constructed inventory through the inputinventories relationship endpoint, the controller verifies only that the requesting user can read the source inventory, rather than that...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: host_filter SmartFilter ORM traversal exposes JobEvent/AdHocCommandEvent event_data and stdout to users without permission on the job, enabling blind character-by-character extraction of job output (cross-tenant information disclosure)

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller. The hostfilter query parameter on the hosts list API is parsed into a raw Django ORM filter whose lookup path is validated only against a sensitive-field blocklist, with no authorization check on the database relatio...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: container group pod_spec_override mints the automation-controller ServiceAccount token and mounts control-plane namespace secrets into job pods, bypassing automountServiceAccountToken:false (control-plane secret and identity compromise)

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller. A user with the delegated Instance Group Admin role on a container group can set a free-form pod specification override that is deep-merged, without filtering, into every job pod launched on that group. The only...

automation-controller: automation-controller: incomplete sanitize_jinja() regex allows Jinja template injection into ad-hoc module_args, Machine-credential fields, and Host names, reaching ansible-core templating in the execution environment

A flaw was found in the automation-controller input-validation guard sanitizejinja. The function uses two regular expressions to reject user-supplied Jinja, but the patterns stop at the first interior '' or '%' character, so a Jinja expression containing an inner brace for example an empty dict i...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: Named-URL 404 body oracle enables cross-tenant resource name enumeration

URLModificationMiddleware resolves named-URL lookups against unfiltered Model.objects before RBAC. The 403→404 shim only rewrites 403 responses, leaving the pk=0 miss path with a different 404 detail string. Differential "Not found." vs "No matches..." reveals whether a named resource org,...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: JobJobEventsChildrenSummary RBAC bypass exposes cross-tenant job event tree structure

JobJobEventsChildrenSummary view has no model/parentmodel. ModelAccessPermission.checkgetpermissions falls through returns True for any authenticated user. The view uses raw getobjector404Job, pk without DRF object-level permission check. Zero-privilege user reads event tree structure,...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: unauthenticated debug scheduler-trigger endpoints (AllowAny, routed without DEBUG guard) allow advisory-lock starvation of job dispatch (DoS)

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. Four debug views that trigger the internal task, dependency, and workflow schedulers are configured to allow any user including unauthenticated clients and are routed in production builds because their URL include i...

automation-controller-container: automation-controller: automation-controller: server-side request forgery via the Thycotic Secret Server external credential plugin test endpoint (caller-controlled server_url, backend executed in the controller web process)

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. The Thycotic Secret Server external credential plugin passes a user-supplied server URL to its SDK without validating the scheme, host, or IP range, and the plugin backend is executed synchronously within the...
