It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-57847 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-57847/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-57847/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-57847","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-57847/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-57847","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-49g2-wpmf-55pv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ansible Automation Platform","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers with container access can escalate to root by modifying group-writable /etc/passwd files in Ansible Automation Platform images.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"ansible_automation_platform","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"A container privilege escalation flaw was found in certain Ansible Automation Platform images. This issue arises from the /etc/passwd file being created with group-writable permissions during the build process.

This vulnerability allows an attacker to add a new user with any arbitrary UID, including UID 0, gaining full root privileges within the container.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Ansible-automation-platform: privilege escalation via excessive group writable /etc/passwd permissions","id":"CVE-2025-57847","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":13,"next":{"headline":"Container-native-virtualization: privilege escalation via excessive /etc/passwd permissions","id":"CVE-2025-57848"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in FENCE-Mobile RemoteManager i-FILTER Browser Service","id":"CVE-2025-57846"},"products":["Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2","Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.16","Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.18","Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5","Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6","Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.7","Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Ansible Core 2"],"published":"2026-04-08","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in ansible-tower","id":"CVE-2021-4112","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-25"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Platform: ec2_key module prints out the private key directly to the standard output","id":"CVE-2023-4237","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-04"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Improper Input Validation and Command Injection in Ansible","id":"CVE-2021-3583","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-22"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Event-driven-ansible: event stream test mode exposes sensitive headers in aap eda","id":"CVE-2025-9907","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-27"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Event-driven-ansible: sensitive internal headers disclosure in aap eda event streams","id":"CVE-2025-9908","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-27"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Aap-gateway: improper path validation in gateway allows credential exfiltration","id":"CVE-2025-9909","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-27"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform","id":"CVE-2022-2568","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-13","vendors":["Red Hat"]},"summary":"Attackers with container access can escalate to root by modifying group-writable /etc/passwd files in Ansible Automation Platform images.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-57847/"}
