The function uses two regular\n                  expressions to reject user-supplied Jinja, but the patterns\n                  stop at the first interior '}' or '%' character, so a Jinja\n                  expression containing an inner brace (for example an empty\n                  dict) is accepted while remaining valid Jinja. Because\n                  sanitize_jinja() is the sole guard on several launch-time\n                  fields — ad-hoc command module_args, Machine-credential\n                  username / become_method / become_user, and inventory host\n                  names — a low-privileged user can inject Jinja that ansible-core\n                  evaluates in the execution environment. This enables execution\n                  of arbitrary commands in the execution environment (bypassing an\n                  administrator's AD_HOC_COMMANDS module allowlist) and disclosure\n                  of secrets belonging to credentials the attacker cannot read\n                  (by templating a co-attached credential's injected environment\n                  variables), across the credential access-control boundary.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **RHSA-2026:71114** · 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":"twilight","depthScore":39,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":39.1,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
