CVE-2026-84502

9.9 CRITICAL

Published 2026-09-23 · Updated 2026-09-24

AI risk analysis

Summary: The flaw allows an attacker to inject arbitrary commands via the scm_url field, leading to remote code execution on the control-plane task pod.
Exploitability: Exploitation requires write access to a project in a single organization and knowledge of the specific URL format to trigger the vulnerability. It is moderately hard to exploit.
Blast radius: If exploited, the attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the control-plane task pod, potentially leading to cross-tenant compromise and in-cluster lateral movement.
Detection: No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
Prioritized remediation: Upgrade to Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.590 or later.

NVD description

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. The Project scm_url field is not validated against values that begin with a dash and is stored and passed verbatim to the git SCM module. Because the module runs git ls-remote with the URL as a positional argument and without a "--" separator, a git project URL such as "--upload-pack=<command>:x" is interpreted by git as the --upload-pack option and executed via a shell. A user with permission to create or modify a project in a single organization can thereby execute arbitrary commands on the control-plane task pod, with output reflected through the project update stdout endpoint, leading to cross-tenant compromise and in-cluster lateral movement
