CVE-2026-12382: Aap-gateway: missing requestheaderstoremove allows mtls bypass via subject header spoofing

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.46% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: ansible-core (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el8) 1:2.16.19-1.el8ap; automation-controller (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el8) 0:4.6.30-2.el8ap; automation-controller-cli (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el8) 0:4.6.30-2.el8ap.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to ansible-core (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el8) 1:2.16.19-1.el8ap; automation-controller (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el8) 0:4.6.30-2.el8ap; automation-controller-cli (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el8) 0:4.6.30-2.el8ap or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A flaw was found in the AAP Gateway Envoy proxy configuration. The non-mTLS route to EDA event streams does not remove the Subject HTTP header from client requests, despite the source code defining requestHeadersToRemove for this header. An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject a spoofed Subject header matching a legitimate client certificate DN to bypass mTLS authentication and inject arbitrary events into protected EDA event streams.
