Aug 23 PATCH SHIPPED — CVE-2026-52902 (Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.7 for RHEL 10). Fixed in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.7 for RHEL 10 0:4.8.6-1.el10ap.
Description
A path traversal vulnerability was found in awxkit, the CLI tool for AWX. The YAML !include directive does not sanitize file paths, allowing an attacker to craft a malicious YAML file that reads arbitrary YAML-formatted files from the local filesystem when a user imports it using "awx --conf.format yaml import". This is a client-side vulnerability requiring user interaction.
