Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.2 security update
A denial of service vulnerability exists in the @grpc/grpc-js library used by Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.2. An invalid incoming HTTP/2 stream initiation can cause the server process to crash. This affects all servers created using @grpc/grpc-js, with no available workaround other than upgrading the library.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-48068 is a vulnerability in the @grpc/grpc-js JavaScript gRPC client and server library where an invalid HTTP/2 stream initiation can cause the server to crash. This flaw leads to an uncaught exception resulting in a denial of service condition. The vulnerability affects all servers built with @grpc/grpc-js. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.2 includes this vulnerable component. No workaround exists; remediation requires upgrading to fixed versions of @grpc/grpc-js (1.9.16, 1.10.12, 1.11.4, 1.12.7, 1.13.5, or 1.14.4).
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a malformed HTTP/2 stream to a gRPC server using @grpc/grpc-js, causing the server process to crash and resulting in a denial of service. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity, but availability is severely affected.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the @grpc/grpc-js library to one of the fixed versions: 1.9.16, 1.10.12, 1.11.4, 1.12.7, 1.13.5, or 1.14.4. No workaround is available. Red Hat has not provided a direct patch for Ansible Automation Platform 2.2 but users should ensure the underlying @grpc/grpc-js dependency is updated accordingly.
