Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 Product Security and Bug Fix 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. 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

Technical 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.
Potential 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.
Mitigation Recommendations
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.
