Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2/2.7 and classified as problematic. This issue affects an unknown part. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a session expiration vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-613. According to WASC, "Insufficient Session Expiration is when a web site permits an attacker to reuse old session credentials or session IDs for authorization." Impacted is confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

A flaw was found in Ansible Lightspeed. This vulnerability, related to insufficient session expiration, allows a remote attacker to maintain persistent access to the Ansible Lightspeed instance. If an attacker exfiltrates a valid OAuth (Open Authorization) access token before a user logs out, they can continue to authenticate and access sensitive data. This is because the application fails to invalidate the token on the backend, leaving it valid until its natural expiration. This can lead to unauthorized read access to Ansible resources such as inventories, playbooks, and configuration data.
