CVE-2026-71459: AWX JobJobEventsChildrenSummary authorization bypass

CVE-2026-71459 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5 · Published 2026-09-23

A job automation platform fails to enforce object-level access controls on an API endpoint that exposes job event information. An authenticated user with no special privileges can access event details and enumerate all job IDs across the platform by submitting requests and observing which return data versus errors, potentially revealing operational workflows and job structures.

Technical details

The JobJobEventsChildrenSummary view lacks DRF object-level permission checks and relies on a ModelAccessPermission handler that returns True for all authenticated users. The endpoint calls get_object_or_404(Job, pk) without validating user access, while the correctly-secured sibling endpoint /jobs/{id}/job_events/ returns 403 for unauthorized requests. An attacker can enumerate job IDs and inspect event processing status via a 200/404 HTTP response oracle.
