CVE-2026-84713 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-09-23

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's notification system exposes sensitive credential information, such as PagerDuty service keys and messaging platform tokens, through an authentication bypass in the API. A low-privileged user can extract these secrets character-by-character across different organizations by exploiting inadequate permission checks on relational filters. This allows attackers to gain access to external communication services and potentially compromise integrated systems.

## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the automation-controller notification subsystem where NotificationTemplate.notification_configuration is protected, but its recipient value is copied in clear text to the unprotected Notification.recipients field. The credential-types endpoint is listable by any authenticated user, and the API filter backend traverses object relations without per-hop authorization checks, allowing an authenticated attacker to use relational filter boolean count-oracles to recover secrets. An attacker with minimal privileges can leak recipient values (including PagerDuty keys and bearer tokens) across tenants and organizations.
