CVE-2026-104710

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller. Survey questions of type password are write-only and stored encrypted, displayed only as a placeholder on read. When a schedule or workflow job template node is revalidated against a tightened survey specification, the controller decrypts the stored password and includes its plaintext value in the minimum/maximum length validation error message returned in the HTTP response. A user with the delegated JobTemplate Admin role can tighten the survey length constraint and trigger revalidation of a schedule or node created by another, higher-privileged user, thereby recovering that user's stored password in plaintext.

In Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller, four debug views that trigger the internal task, dependency, and workflow schedulers are accessible to any user, including unauthenticated clients, because their URL routing is not gated on the debug setting. An unauthenticated remote attacker can repeatedly invoke these endpoints to acquire the cluster-wide scheduler advisory lock, causing real scheduler runs to be skipped and stalling job dispatch for all tenants while consuming controller web workers.
