When a\nWorkflowJobTemplate is copied, the deep-copy permission sanitizer validates only the inventory,\nunified_job_template, and credentials of each cloned node and fails to check the instance_groups\n(and execution_environment and labels) that were preserved from the original. A user with\norganization workflow-admin permission but no role on the referenced instance groups can copy a\nworkflow, become its administrator, and launch jobs pinned to instance groups they are not\nauthorized to use — including the control-plane instance group — bypassing the InstanceGroup\nuse_role boundary and causing attacker-influenced automation to run in the control-plane\nexecution context.\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":[]}
