RHEL 8 / 9 : Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 Product Security and Bug Fix Update (Critical) (RHSA-2026:71114)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:71114 advisory. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing IT automation at scale. IT...

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: 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-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: Schedule and WorkflowJobTemplateNode scm_branch prompt bypasses leading-dash git-argument guard

LaunchConfigurationBaseSerializer.scmbranch has no validatescmbranch leading-dash check, unlike Project/JobTemplate/JobLaunch serializers. Schedule and WFJT Node accept --upload-pack=/bin/id as scmbranch. Currently blocked at runtime by jobs.py:1502 ValueError check defense-in-depth, but the API...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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-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: 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: 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: 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: 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...
