Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 7 Aug 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Red Hat to 2.5.0.

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released an official update for Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 that addresses these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the update to automation-controller version 4.5.11 and upgrade the associated python3-pulpcore, python3-urllib3, receptor, and python3-django packages to the fixed versions listed in the advisory. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying these official fixes.

Description

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. Security Fix(es): * python3-pulpcore/python39-pulpcore: RBAC permissions incorrectly assigned in tasks that create objects (CVE-2024-7143) * python3-urllib3/python39-urllib3: urllib3: proxy-authorization request header is not stripped during cross-origin redirects (CVE-2024-37891) * receptor: golang: net/netip: Unexpected behavior from Is methods for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (CVE-2024-24790) * receptor: golang: net: malformed DNS message can cause infinite loop (CVE-2024-24788) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Updates and fixes for automation controller: * Updated fallback to use RHSM subscription credential for shipping analytics data if analytics gathering is enabled (AAP-30228) * Upgraded 'channels-redis' library to fix Redis connection leak (AAP-30124) * automation-controller has been updated to 4.5.11 Additional fixes: * python3/python39-django has been updated to 4.2.16 * python3/python39-pulpcore has been updated to 3.28.32 * python3/python39-urllib3 has been updated to 1.26.20 * receptor has been updated to 1.4.8-1.1

Impact

The vulnerabilities could lead to improper access control due to RBAC misconfiguration, potential leakage of proxy-authorization headers during redirects, unexpected network address handling behavior, and denial of service caused by infinite loops in DNS message processing. The overall security impact is rated moderate by Red Hat, indicating these issues could affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the automation platform if exploited.

Summary

The Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 security advisory (RHSA-2024:6765) addresses four vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-7143 involves incorrect RBAC permissions assigned in tasks that create objects within python3-pulpcore; CVE-2024-37891 concerns urllib3 not stripping proxy-authorization headers during cross-origin redirects; CVE-2024-24790 relates to unexpected behavior in golang net/netip Is methods for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses; and CVE-2024-24788 involves a malformed DNS message causing an infinite loop in golang net package. The advisory updates automation-controller to version 4.5.11 and upgrades related libraries and components to fixed versions. These fixes correct security and stability issues in the platform.

CWE-277Insecure Inherited Permissions (opens in a new tab)
Variant weakness
A product defines a set of insecure permissions that are inherited by objects that are created by the program.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
