An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-84691 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-2026-84691/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-84691/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-84691","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-84691/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-84691","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xrjh-rfcr-rxj7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ansible Automation Platform","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An administrator can exploit format string injection in API error logs to disclose Django secret keys and database credentials, enabling credential decryption and session forgery.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-134","name":"Use of Externally-Controlled Format String"}],"description":"A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-\ncontroller. The setting that formats the log message emitted for API 4XX errors\nis an administrator-controlled Python format-string template that is rendered\nwith a live user object as an argument. Because Python string formatting permits\nattribute and item traversal on its arguments, an administrator can craft a\ntemplate that walks from the user object into the application settings and reads\nthe Django secret key and the database password. The formatted message is written\nto a logger that can be forwarded to an external log aggregator, whose destination\nis also administrator-controlled, allowing the secrets to be sent off the host. An\nauthenticated administrator can thereby obtain the master encryption key used to\nprotect all stored credentials and the database service password, enabling offline\ndecryption of every stored credential, forgery of user sessions, and direct\naccess to the controller database.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Information disclosure in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 8","id":"CVE-2026-84691","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Coolify before 4.2.0 Remote Code Execution via Environment Variable Key","id":"CVE-2026-84694"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Improper Cache Isolation in auth0/react-native-auth0 SDK Web Platform Credential Management","id":"CVE-2026-84685"},"products":["Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 8","Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 for RHEL 9","Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6","Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 for RHEL 9","Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.7"],"published":"2026-09-23","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2026-10-16","vendors":["Red Hat"]},"summary":"An administrator can exploit format string injection in API error logs to disclose Django secret keys and database credentials, enabling credential decryption and session forgery.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-84691/"}
