CVE-2026-76648

Automation-controller: automation-controller-container: aap controller: copyapiview.post() missing read authorization check enables job template secret recovery

Published Sep 23, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 8.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
CopyAPIView (awx/awx/api/generics.py:873) sets permission_classes =
(IsAuthenticated,), so DRF's get_object() performs no object-level
RBAC. The get() handler (lines 988–991) explicitly guards with
request.user.can_access(obj._class_, 'read', obj) — but post()
(lines 1001–1010) does not. POST only checks:

can_access(model, 'add', create_kwargs_check)

can_access(model, 'copy_related', obj)

For JobTemplate, can_add (awx/awx/main/access.py:1465–1520) gates on

inventory.use_role + project.use_role +
execution_environment.read_role — resource-level roles that do not
imply read on the source JT — and can_copy_related (1522–1534) checks
only credentials.use_role. None of these imply the caller can read the
source JT.
