## What is CVE-2026-71463?

CVE-2026-71463 is a low-severity vulnerability in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 8, published on 23 Sep 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Notification template Jinja AST whitelist only inspects
              static Getattr nodes. Dynamic subscripts (job['job'+'_env'])
              and {% if job.id > 100 %} conditional gating bypass both
              the AST check and the test-render (stub has small job.id).
              At runtime, the gated branch executes and exceptions write
              full tracebacks into notification body, which is POSTed
              to attacker-controlled webhook URL. Leaks install paths,
              Python version, source line numbers.

Weakness: CWE-209 (Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information)

Affected 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.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
