Redhat: >> Ansible Automation Platform >> 2.5 Security Vulnerabilities
A container privilege escalation flaw was found in certain Ansible Automation Platform images. This issue arises from the /etc/passwd file being created with group-writable permissions during the build process. In certain conditions, an attacker who can execute commands within an affected container, even as a non-root user, can leverage their membership in the root group to modify the /etc/passwd file. This vulnerability allows an attacker to add a new user with any arbitrary UID, including UID 0, gaining full root privileges within the container.

A flaw was found in the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Gateway route creation component. This vulnerability allows credential theft via the creation of misleading routes using a double-slash (//) prefix in the gateway_path. A malicious or socially engineered administrator can configure a honey-pot route to intercept and exfiltrate user credentials, potentially maintaining persistent access or creating a backdoor even after their permissions are revoked.

A flaw was found in the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Event-Driven Ansible (EDA) Event Streams. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to gain access to sensitive internal infrastructure headers (such as X-Trusted-Proxy and X-Envoy-*) and event stream URLs via crafted requests and job templates. By exfiltrating these headers, an attacker could spoof trusted requests, escalate privileges, or perform malicious event injection.

A flaw was found in the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Event-Driven Ansible (EDA) Event Stream API. This vulnerability allows exposure of sensitive client credentials and internal infrastructure headers via the test_headers field when an event stream is in test mode. The possible outcome includes leakage of internal infrastructure details, accidental disclosure of user or system credentials, privilege escalation if high-value tokens are exposed, and persistent sensitive data exposure to all users with read access on the event stream.

A vulnerability was found in aap-gateway. A Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the gateway component. This flaw allows a malicious user to perform actions that impact users by using the "?next=" in a URL, which can lead to redirecting, injecting malicious script, stealing sessions and data.
