CVE-2026-84684

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. When attaching a source inventory to a constructed inventory through the input_inventories relationship endpoint, the controller verifies only that the requesting user can read the source inventory, rather than that they hold use permission on it, unlike instance group attachment on the same access class. An authenticated user who can administer a constructed inventory and has read-only visibility of an inventory in another organization -- for example an organization or system auditor -- can attach that foreign inventory as an input. On synchronization the controller clones every host and host variable, including secrets, into the attacker's inventory, and because the attacker administers the constructed inventory they can run ad hoc commands against the cloned hosts, resulting in cross-tenant disclosure of inventory data and secrets and code execution against another tenant's managed hosts.
