Описание
A flaw was found in Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller (AWX). The Bulk Job Launch API (POST /api/v2/bulk/job_launch/) authorizes the requested instance_groups with only a read-level permission check, whereas the standard single-job launch path requires use-level permission on the same field. A principal that holds read (but not use) permission on an instance group -- for example the built-in read-only System Auditor role -- together with execute permission on a job template can launch bulk jobs onto instance groups they are not authorized to use, bypassing execution-placement isolation.
Отчет
his flaw affects the Bulk Job Launch API in automation-controller as shipped in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. Exploitation requires an authenticated principal that already holds execute permission on a job template and read (but not use) permission on the target instance group; it does not grant new template or credential access, only unauthorized control of execution placement onto instance groups.
Меры по смягчению последствий
- Restrict who holds the System Auditor role and avoid combining it with job-template execute grants; review custom roles that pair read on instance groups with execute on job templates.
- Where feasible, restrict access to the Bulk Job Launch endpoint (/api/v2/bulk/job_launch/) at the network/proxy layer to trusted automation callers until the fix is applied.
- Audit workflow/bulk jobs for placement onto instance groups the launching principal does not hold use_role on.
