Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 Container Release Update
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless language.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-64460 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in Django's XML Deserializer component, which is used by Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4. The vulnerability arises from algorithmic complexity issues that allow a remote attacker to trigger CPU and memory exhaustion by submitting specially crafted XML input. This flaw is identified as CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity) and related to resource consumption leading to DoS. Red Hat has classified this vulnerability as important for affected products and currently has no suitable mitigation or fix that meets their deployment and stability standards.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to cause denial-of-service conditions by exhausting CPU and memory resources on systems running affected versions of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 that process XML input via Django's XML Deserializer. This can disrupt automation workflows and potentially impact availability of the platform. There are no reported exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official fix or mitigation meeting Red Hat's criteria is currently available. Users should ensure all previously released errata are applied to their systems. Monitoring Red Hat advisories for future updates or fixes is recommended. Since no workaround is provided, risk mitigation may require operational controls outside the scope of this vulnerability.
