CVE-2025-5988

Aap-gateway: csrf origin checking is disabled

Published Aug 4, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 5.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in the Ansible aap-gateway. Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) origin checking is not done on requests from the gateway to external components, such as the controller, hub, and eda.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Use HTTPS on the platform ingress if possible. Since this is a problem in edge-terminated AAP deployments where requests have TLS terminated right before the platform ingress, enforce trusted origins before requests reach the gateway. A tool such as a Web-application firewall should be able to manage this issue.
