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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: instance install_bundle issues 10-year, non-revocable receptor mesh-CA certificates for caller-chosen (and case-variant impersonating) hostnames

A flaw was found in the automation-controller instance install-bundle endpoint. When a System Administrator downloads an execution/hop node's install bundle, the controller signs an X.509 certificate with the receptor mesh certificate authority in which the Common Name, DNS...

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: 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: 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: 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-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: CredentialType injector validation renders attacker-supplied Jinja2 templates synchronously in the web worker, allowing uncontrolled resource consumption (denial of service) and an unhandled-exception (500) via /api/controller/v2/credential_types/

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller. When a custom credential type is created or updated, the injector configuration is validated by rendering each attacker-supplied Jinja2 template synchronously inside the web request worker, with no limit on iteration...
