Description

CVE-2026-71460 is a moderate information disclosure vulnerability in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 8. The /api/v2/config/ API endpoint is protected only by authentication, allowing any authenticated user to access license information such as account number, subscription ID, pool ID, SKU, support level, and instance counts. This information exposure can facilitate social engineering and estate-sizing reconnaissance but does not affect data integrity or availability. A fix is being pursued for maintained platform streams, but no fix is planned for the older 2.4 stream.
