Publication date: 2026-06-23

Last updated on: 2026-06-24

Assigner: Red Hat, Inc.

Description
A missing authorization vulnerability was found in the Event-Driven Ansible (EDA) websocket API. The /api/eda/ws/ansible-rulebook endpoint does not verify user permissions when processing Worker messages. Any authenticated user can send a forged message with an arbitrary activation_id to receive plaintext credentials associated with that activation, including OAuth tokens, vault passwords, and SSH keys.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a missing authorization issue in the Event-Driven Ansible (EDA) websocket API. Specifically, the /api/eda/ws/ansible-rulebook endpoint does not check user permissions when processing Worker messages. As a result, any authenticated user can send a forged message with an arbitrary activation_id and receive plaintext credentials related to that activation, such as OAuth tokens, vault passwords, and SSH keys.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows any authenticated user to obtain plaintext credentials, including OAuth tokens, vault passwords, and SSH keys, due to missing authorization checks in the Event-Driven Ansible websocket API.

Exposure of such sensitive credentials can lead to unauthorized access to protected data and systems, potentially resulting in violations of data protection regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA, which require strict controls over access to sensitive information.

Therefore, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to compliance with common standards and regulations that mandate confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can have a severe impact because it allows authenticated users to obtain sensitive plaintext credentials, including OAuth tokens, vault passwords, and SSH keys. This unauthorized access can lead to credential compromise, unauthorized access to systems and data, and potential escalation of privileges within the affected environment.
