CVE-2026-71460: Automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: any authenticated user reads red hat subscription/license details via /config/

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 17/100)

  • 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: 0.21% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: python3.12-sqlparse (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el8) 0:0.6.0-1.el8ap; receptor (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el8) 0:1.6.8-1.el8ap; python-sqlparse (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.6::el10) 0:0.6.0-1.el10ap.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to python3.12-sqlparse (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el8) 0:0.6.0-1.el8ap; receptor (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.5::el8) 0:1.6.8-1.el8ap; python-sqlparse (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.6::el10) 0:0.6.0-1.el10ap 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

/api/v2/config/ is protected only by IsAuthenticated. license_info (account_number, subscription_id, pool_id, sku, support_level, instance counts) returned to any authenticated user. The superuser/auditor gate only covers project_base_dir/project_local_paths/custom_virtualenvs, not license_info. Enables social engineering against Red Hat support and estate sizing reconnaissance.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.
