An official security update is available from Red Hat as detailed in RHSA-2026:71113. Users should apply the update to Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 to remediate this vulnerability. No additional mitigation is required once the update is applied.

Description

A vulnerability in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller allows unauthenticated remote attackers to invoke debug endpoints that acquire a cluster-wide scheduler advisory lock. This causes legitimate scheduler runs to be skipped, stalling job dispatch for all tenants and consuming controller web workers. Additionally, the debug root view discloses the list of debug endpoints to unauthenticated users.
