The Project scm_url field is not validated against values that\nbegin with a dash and is stored and passed verbatim to the git SCM module.\nBecause the module runs git ls-remote with the URL as a positional argument and\nwithout a \"--\" separator, a git project URL such as \"--upload-pack=<command>:x\"\nis interpreted by git as the --upload-pack option and executed via a shell. A\nuser with permission to create or modify a project in a single organization can\nthereby execute arbitrary commands on the control-plane task pod, with output\nreflected through the project update stdout endpoint, leading to cross-tenant\ncompromise and in-cluster lateral movement\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **RHSA-2026:71115** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 for RHEL 8, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 for RHEL 9 · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71115)\n- **RHSA-2026:71114** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 8, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 9 · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71114)\n- **RHSA-2026:71113** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 for RHEL 9 · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71113)\n- **RHSA-2026:71179** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71179)\n- **RHSA-2026:71177** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.7 · released 2026-09-23 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71177)","depth":"midnight","depthScore":54,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":54.5,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
