Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (the affected version unknown). It has been classified as problematic. This affects the function ModelAccessPermission.check_get_permissions of the component JobJobEventsChildrenSummary. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a privileges management vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-269. The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

JobJobEventsChildrenSummary view has no model/parent_model. ModelAccessPermission.check_get_permissions() falls through (returns True) for any authenticated user. The view uses raw get_object_or_404(Job, pk) without DRF object-level permission check. Zero-privilege user reads event tree structure, event_processing_finished status, and enumerates Job IDs platform-wide via 200/404 oracle. Sibling endpoint /jobs/{id}/job_events/ correctly returns 403.
