Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.2 security update
A denial of service vulnerability exists in the @grpc/grpc-js JavaScript gRPC client and server library used by Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.2. An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a server crash by sending a malformed HTTP/2 stream initiation. No workaround is available, but fixed versions of the library have been released.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-48068 is a denial of service vulnerability in the @grpc/grpc-js library, a pure JavaScript implementation of gRPC client and server. The flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash a server process by sending an invalid HTTP/2 stream initiation, causing an uncaught exception and server crash. This affects all servers created using @grpc/grpc-js. Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.2 includes this vulnerable component. No workaround exists, but 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) have been released. Red Hat has issued a security advisory (RHSA-2026:50839) acknowledging the issue but has not yet provided a fix for the platform itself.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a denial of service by crashing the server process running the vulnerable @grpc/grpc-js library. This results in service disruption for applications relying on this component, including Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.2. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity, only availability is affected.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has not released a fix for Ansible Automation Platform 2.2 itself but recommends upgrading 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. Users should monitor Red Hat advisories for updates and apply patches when provided.
