AI-suggested

Red Hat has issued an official security advisory (RHSA-2026:71113) providing updates that address this vulnerability in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6. Users should apply the vendor-provided patches promptly to remediate the issue. No additional mitigation actions are required beyond applying the official fix.

Description

A vulnerability in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller allows an authenticated administrator to exploit a Python format-string template used for logging API 4XX errors. This flaw permits reading sensitive application secrets such as the Django secret key and database password by crafting a malicious format string. The secrets can be exfiltrated via logs forwarded to external aggregators, potentially enabling offline decryption of stored credentials, session forgery, and direct database access.
