AI-suggested

Currently, there is no complete configuration-only mitigation. Red Hat recommends granting the Job Template and Workflow Job Template administrator roles only to trusted users and avoiding storing webhook token credentials in organizations where untrusted users hold template-admin rights. Apply the official fix from Red Hat when it becomes available. Monitor the Red Hat advisory page for patch release updates.

Description

CVE-2026-126642 is an authorization flaw in AWX, the automation controller component of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2. It allows a user with job template administration rights to attach a webhook token credential they do not have permission to use. This can lead to disclosure of another user's personal access token when a webhook event triggers AWX to send the token to an attacker-controlled destination. The flaw impacts confidentiality but does not affect integrity or availability of the controller.
