An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-71462 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 8. 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-2026-71462/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-71462/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-71462","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-71462/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-71462","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8936-fch2-2279"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ansible Automation Platform","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Tenant superusers can determine the existence of arbitrary files on the controller pod via path validation responses, potentially revealing sensitive configuration details.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-204","name":"Observable Response Discrepancy"}],"description":"StringListPathField.to_internal_value() calls\n              os.path.exists() on unbounded user-supplied paths.\n              200 vs 400 response reveals existence of arbitrary\n              absolute paths on the controller-web pod.
