CVE-2026-84719
9.9 CRITICALPublished 2026-09-23 · Updated 2026-09-25
AI risk analysis
- Summary
- The flaw in Ansible Automation Platform allows a user with workflow-admin permission to copy a WorkflowJobTemplate and launch jobs in unauthorized instance groups, including the control-plane, bypassing security boundaries.
- Exploitability
- Exploitation is moderately hard as it requires the user to have workflow-admin permission and knowledge of the instance groups involved. Precondition is the presence of instance groups with different access controls.
- Blast radius
- If exploited, this could lead to unauthorized execution of jobs in sensitive instance groups, potentially compromising the control-plane and other critical infrastructure.
- Detection
- No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
- Prioritized remediation
- Upgrade to Ansible Automation Platform 2.590 or later.

NVD description
A flaw was found in the Ansible Automation Platform automation-controller. When a WorkflowJobTemplate is copied, the deep-copy permission sanitizer validates only the inventory, unified_job_template, and credentials of each cloned node and fails to check the instance_groups (and execution_environment and labels) that were preserved from the original. A user with organization workflow-admin permission but no role on the referenced instance groups can copy a workflow, become its administrator, and launch jobs pinned to instance groups they are not authorized to use — including the control-plane instance group — bypassing the InstanceGroup use_role boundary and causing attacker-influenced automation to run in the control-plane execution context.
