CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access four debug views, enabling them to disrupt the cluster-wide scheduler by acquiring its advisory lock. This can lead to skipped legitimate scheduler runs, stalling job dispatch for all tenants, and excessive consumption of web workers. Organizations utilizing this platform should prioritize remediation to prevent potential service disruptions and unauthorized access to sensitive debugging information.
Original NVD Description
A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. Four debug views that trigger the internal task, dependency, and workflow schedulers are configured to allow any user (including unauthenticated clients) and are routed in production builds because their URL include is not gated on the debug setting. An unauthenticated remote attacker can repeatedly invoke these endpoints to acquire the cluster-wide scheduler advisory lock; because the legitimate scheduler acquires the same lock without waiting, the attacker causes real scheduler runs to be skipped, stalling job dispatch for all tenants, while also consuming controller web workers. The debug root view additionally discloses the list of debug endpoints to unauthenticated callers.
