CVE-2026-84644

automation-controller-container: automation-controller: automation-controller: server-side request forgery via the Thycotic Secret Server external credential plugin test endpoint (caller-controlled server_url, backend executed in the controller web process)

Published n/a CVSS 3.1 · 7.4 High EPSS n/a KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-
controller. The Thycotic Secret Server external credential plugin passes a
user-supplied server URL to its SDK without validating the scheme, host, or IP
range, and the plugin backend is executed synchronously within the automation
controller web process. Using the external credential test endpoint, a user who
holds only the use role on such a credential can override the stored server URL
with an arbitrary internal address, causing the control plane to issue requests
to internal services. Although the response is a generic error, response timing
reveals whether internal hosts and ports are reachable, enabling internal
network reconnaissance and a blind request-forgery primitive from the control
plane, and each request can hold a web worker, affecting availability.
