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: 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: 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-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: 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: 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: 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...

Automation-Controller: automation-controller: Kubernetes service account token exfiltration via HashiCorp Vault credential SSRF

A flaw was found in the AAP Controller's HashiCorp Vault credential plugin. The kubernetesauth function in awxplugins/credentials/hashivault.py reads the controller pod's Kubernetes service account token and sends it to an attacker-controlled URL when a HashiCorp Vault Secret Lookup credential wi...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: CUSTOM_VENV_PATH setting provides filesystem path-existence oracle on control pod

StringListPathField.tointernalvalue calls os.path.exists on unbounded user-supplied paths. 200 vs 400 response reveals existence of arbitrary absolute paths on the controller-web pod. Tenant superuser can confirm /etc/tower/SECRETKEY, k8s service-account token, receptor sockets, ConfigMap mount...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: Notification template Jinja whitelist bypass via conditional gating leaks tracebacks

Notification template Jinja AST whitelist only inspects static Getattr nodes. Dynamic subscripts job'job'+'env' and % if job.id 100 % conditional gating bypass both the AST check and the test-render stub has small job.id. At runtime, the gated branch executes and exceptions write full tracebacks...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller/AWX: Bulk Job Launch checks instance_groups at read level instead of use level, allowing execution-placement authorization bypass

A flaw was found in Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller AWX. The Bulk Job Launch API POST /api/v2/bulk/joblaunch/ authorizes the requested instancegroups with only a read-level permission check, whereas the standard single-job launch path requires use-level permission on the same...

automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: instance group attachment to schedules and workflow job template nodes checks only read permission, allowing use of restricted (controlplane / other-tenant) instance groups and privilege escalation to control-plane code execution

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. When attaching an instance group to a schedule or a workflow job template node through the dedicated API relationship endpoint, the controller verifies only that the requesting user can read view the instance group,...

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: GALAXY_TASK_ENV setting is not filtered for dynamic-linker / interpreter environment variables, allowing a system administrator to achieve code execution in the project-update execution environment

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. The GALAXYTASKENV setting, whose values are added to the environment of the ansible-galaxy commands run during project updates, is not validated to exclude dynamic-linker and interpreter environment variables such a...

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: 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...
