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: Project scm_branch/scm_refspec argument injection into git during project sync allows arbitrary file read on the sync host (control-plane ServiceAccount token, SECRET_KEY, and DB credentials on control-plane deployments) leading to full AAP and Kubernetes-namespace compromise

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller. The Project SCM branch and SCM refspec fields are accepted without rejecting values that begin with a dash and are passed to the git module during project synchronization, where they reach a git checkout/git fetch...

automation-controller: automation-controller: unauthenticated /api/v2/ping/ discloses automation-mesh instance topology and instance-group membership

A flaw was found in the automation-controller API. The unauthenticated health-check endpoint /api/v2/ping/ ApiV2PingView, AllowAny over-serializes RBAC-gated automation-mesh data into its anonymous response, exposing the full instance inventory node hostnames, node types, UUIDs, heartbeats,...

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: 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: Any authenticated user reads Red Hat subscription/license details via /config/

/api/v2/config/ is protected only by IsAuthenticated. licenseinfo accountnumber, subscriptionid, poolid, sku, supportlevel, instance counts returned to any authenticated user. The superuser/auditor gate only covers projectbasedir/projectlocalpaths/customvirtualenvs, not licenseinfo. Enables socia...

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: 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: 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-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...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: the AWX_TASK_ENV setting applies arbitrary environment variables to the control-plane web and task processes, enabling TLS interception of external credentials and code execution

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. The AWXTASKENV setting accepts arbitrary environment variable keys with no restriction, and its values are applied directly to the running automation controller web and task processes rather than only to sandboxed...

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: notification template password fields can be decrypted by a notification-template administrator by replaying encrypted values across subfields, exposing plaintext Slack, PagerDuty, Twilio, AWS SNS and Grafana credentials

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. Notification template password fields are encrypted with a key derived from the secret key, the object primary key, and the field name, but not the subfield name, and the API returns the full ciphertext of a passwor...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: workflow job template node execute permission check bypassed by creating a node with a null unified_job_template and then patching it, allowing a single workflow-admin to execute any other tenant's job template with the victim's credentials (cross-tenant privilege escalation)

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller. The execute-permission check on a workflow job template node's unified job template is skipped when the node's currently stored unified job template is empty: the check inspects only the existing value, not the...

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: 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: WorkflowJobTemplate /copy/ deep-copy sanitizer omits instance_groups authorization (InstanceGroup use_role bypass to control-plane)

A flaw was found in the Ansible Automation Platform automation-controller. When a WorkflowJobTemplate is copied, the deep-copy permission sanitizer validates only the inventory, unifiedjobtemplate, and credentials of each cloned node and fails to check the instancegroups and executionenvironment...

automation-controller: automation-controller: SystemJob extra_vars.days argument injection into uncontainerized control-plane awx-manage process

An argument-injection flaw was found in the Ansible Automation Platform automation-controller system-job subsystem. The system-job template launch endpoint stores a user-supplied "days" variable without running the integer validation defined elsewhere for that field, and the dispatcher flattens t...
