Threats affecting pkg:rpm/redhat/automation-controller

A critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-84719) exists in the Ansible Automation Platform automation-controller. The flaw allows a user with organization workflow-admin permission but no role on certain instance groups to copy a workflow job template and gain unauthorized administrative control. This enables launching jobs pinned to instance groups they are not authorized to use, including the control-plane instance group, bypassing intended role boundaries and causing automation to run in a privileged execution context.

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.
