CVE-2026-71463Automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: notification template jinja whitelist bypass via conditional gating leaks tracebacks
Low 2.7
In plain English
A low-severity security flaw in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 8 from Red Hat. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.3% (higher than 20% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
Notification template Jinja AST whitelist only inspects static Getattr nodes. Dynamic subscripts (job['job'+'_env']) and {% if job.id > 100 %} conditional gating bypass both the AST check and the test-render (stub has small job.id). At runtime, the gated branch executes and exceptions write full tracebacks into notification body, which is POSTed to attacker-controlled webhook URL. Leaks install paths, Python version, source line numbers.
