Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 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-2025-15284 is an improper input validation vulnerability in the qs module used for parsing query strings in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass the arrayLimit option by sending HTTP requests with bracket notation (e.g., a[]=value), causing the application to allocate excessive memory. This resource exhaustion results in a denial of service by crashing or making the service unresponsive. Red Hat has released an update (2.6.20260121) addressing this issue. No effective mitigation other than applying the update is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation leads to memory exhaustion causing a denial of service, making the affected application crash or become unresponsive and unavailable to users. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity reported. The vulnerability affects availability with a high impact rating by Red Hat.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat recommends applying the update to Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 at version 2.6.20260121 or later. No other mitigations meeting Red Hat's criteria for ease of use, applicability, and stability are currently available. Ensure all previously released errata are applied before updating. Refer to Red Hat's official documentation for upgrade instructions.
