Type/Severity
Security Advisory: Important
Topic
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Description
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.

- ansible-core: argument injection in ansible-galaxy role install leads to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2026-11332)
- automation-controller: Path traversal via malicious entry point name in pip wheel installation allows arbitrary file overwrite (CVE-2026-8643)
- automation-controller: urllib3: Denial of Service due to excessive HTTP response decompression (CVE-2026-44432)
- automation-platform-ui: fast-uri: Path traversal vulnerability allows bypass of security policies (CVE-2026-6321)
