What it is about
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform ist eine End-to-End-Automatisierungsplattform für die Systemkonfiguration, die Softwarebereitstellung und die Orchestrierung erweiterter Workflows. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle im Red Hat Self-Service-Automatisierungsportal für die Integration der Ansible Automation Platform ausnutzen, um Daten zu manipulieren und so weitere Angriffe durchzuführen - darunter Rechteausweitung, Codeausführung oder das Auslösen eines Denial-of-Service-Zustands.
Under what conditions?
Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- Daten zu manipulieren
- so weitere Angriffe durchzuführen - darunter Rechteausweitung
- Codeausführung oder das Auslösen eines Denial-of-Service-Zustands
Am I affected?
