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.

A moderate severity vulnerability (CVE-2024-11079) in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's ansible-core component allows an unsafe tagging bypass via the hostvars object. This issue affects multiple ansible-core versions used in the Execution Environments containers. Red Hat has released updated ansible-core versions in the 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, and 2.18 streams to address this vulnerability. The advisory recommends updating to these fixed versions to mitigate the risk.

A flaw was found in Ansible. The ansible-core `user` module can allow an unprivileged user to silently create or replace the contents of any file on any system path and take ownership of it when a privileged user executes the `user` module against the unprivileged user's home directory. If the unprivileged user has traversal permissions on the directory containing the exploited target file, they retain full control over the contents of the file as its owner.
