Because\n sanitize_jinja() is the sole guard on several launch-time\n fields — ad-hoc command module_args, Machine-credential\n username / become_method / become_user, and inventory host\n names — a low-privileged user can inject Jinja that ansible-core\n evaluates in the execution environment. This enables execution\n of arbitrary commands in the execution environment (bypassing an\n administrator's AD_HOC_COMMANDS module allowlist) and disclosure\n of secrets belonging to credentials the attacker cannot read\n (by templating a co-attached credential's injected environment\n variables), across the credential access-control boundary." } ], "affected": [ { "vendor": "Red Hat", "product": "Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 8", "collectionURL": "https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/package-browser/", "packageName": "automation-controller", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "0:4.6.33-1.el8ap", "lessThan": "*", "versionType": "rpm", "status": "unaffected" } ], "cpes": [ "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform:2.5::el8", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform:2.5::el9", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el8", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el9", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform_inside:2.5::el8", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform_inside:2.5::el9" ] }, { "vendor": "Red Hat", "product": "Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 9", "collectionURL": "https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/package-browser/", "packageName": "automation-controller", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "0:4.6.33-1.el9ap", "lessThan": "*", "versionType": "rpm", "status": "unaffected" } ], "cpes": [ "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform:2.5::el8", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform:2.5::el9", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el8", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el9", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform_inside:2.5::el8", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform_inside:2.5::el9" ] }, { "vendor": "Red Hat", "product": "Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 for RHEL 9", "collectionURL": "https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/package-browser/", "packageName": "automation-controller", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "0:4.7.17-1.el9ap", "lessThan": "*", "versionType": "rpm", "status": "unaffected" } ], "cpes": [ "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform:2.6::el10", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform:2.6::el9", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.6::el10", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.6::el9", "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform_inside:2.6::el9" ] }, { "vendor": "Red Hat", "product": "Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6", "collectionURL": "https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/", "packageName": "ansible-automation-platform-26/controller-rhel9", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "1789673739", "lessThan": "*", "versionType": "rpm", "status": "unaffected" } ], "cpes": [ "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform:2.6::el9" ] }, { "vendor": "Red Hat", "product": "Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.7", "collectionURL": "https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/", "packageName": "ansible-automation-platform-27/controller-rhel9", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "1789580684", "lessThan": "*", "versionType": "rpm", "status": "unaffected" } ], "cpes": [ "cpe:/a:redhat:ansible_automation_platform:2.7::el9" ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71113", "name": "RHSA-2026:71113", "tags": [ "vendor-advisory", "x_refsource_REDHAT" ] }, { "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71114", "name": "RHSA-2026:71114", "tags": [ "vendor-advisory", "x_refsource_REDHAT" ] }, { "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71177", "name": "RHSA-2026:71177", "tags": [ "vendor-advisory", "x_refsource_REDHAT" ] }, { "url": "https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71179", "name": "RHSA-2026:71179", "tags": [ "vendor-advisory", "x_refsource_REDHAT" ] }, { "url": "https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-84714", "tags": [ "vdb-entry", "x_refsource_REDHAT" ] }, { "url": "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2527198", "name": "RHBZ#2527198", "tags": [ "issue-tracking", "x_refsource_REDHAT" ] } ], "datePublic": "2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z", "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "cweId": "CWE-184", "description": "Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs", "lang": "en", "type": "CWE" } ] } ], "x_redhatCweChain": "CWE-184: Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs", "timeline": [ { "lang": "en", "time": "2026-09-02T00:57:39.676Z", "value": "Reported to Red Hat." }, { "lang": "en", "time": "2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z", "value": "Made public." } ], "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "53f830b8-0a3f-465b-8143-3b8a9948e749", "shortName": "redhat", "dateUpdated": "2026-09-24T05:58:57.400Z" }, "x_generator": { "engine": "cvelib 1.8.0" } } } }
