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 mehrere Schwachstellen in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriffe durchzuführen, Daten zu manipulieren, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen oder beliebigen Code auszuführen.

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

  • Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen
  • Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriffe durchzuführen
  • Daten zu manipulieren
  • einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen oder beliebigen Code auszuführen

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • Fedora Linux
  • IBM MQ Operator
  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
  • RESF Rocky Linux
  • Oracle Linux
  • Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.2
  • Dell Secure Connect Gateway <5.36.00.16
