CVE-2026-71367: AWX WebSocket consumer incorrect authorization

CVE-2026-71367 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-11-12

AWX is a configuration management platform that automates infrastructure and job execution. An authentication bypass in its WebSocket service allows low-privilege users to receive real-time job status and infrastructure metadata from other organizations in multi-organization deployments, leaking job IDs, timing, and system topology information that should be restricted.

Technologies: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. Vendors: Red Hat.

Technical details

The consumer_access() function in AWX's WebSocket consumer fails to enforce organization-level access controls on global broadcast groups (e.g., 'jobs-status_changed'), only restricting object-level groups (job_events, workflow_events, ad_hoc_command_events). An authenticated user can subscribe to broadcast groups without permission verification, gaining visibility into job metadata across organizations in multi-org deployments. This is a confidentiality issue in network-accessible WebSocket functionality requiring only low-privilege authentication.
