REDHAT-BUG-2549510: Medium severity redhat/automation-gateway vulnerability

Published Oct 12, 2026
·
Updated

Rate Moderate - exploitation requires an authenticated user with the collection-namespace owner role to store the payload (roleless upload is rejected), and a separate authenticated viewer must actively activate the crafted link (no execution on page load); the build CSP does not block the script-executing scheme. Component mapping confirmed via newcli: Platform UI assets ship in automation-gateway (2.5 RPM), automation-platform-ui (2.6 RPM), and the gateway-rhel9 container (2.6 and 2.7); standalone ansible-hub-ui uses a different, non-reproduced renderer. Source flaw component = upstream ansible-ui (frontend/hub).

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which deployments are affected?

The affected Platform UI assets ship in automation-gateway 2.5 RPM, automation-platform-ui 2.6 RPM, and the gateway-rhel9 container versions 2.6 and 2.7. Standalone ansible-hub-ui uses a different renderer and was not reproduced as affected.

2

What access and user interaction are required for exploitation?

An authenticated user with the collection-namespace owner role must first store the crafted payload; uploads without that role are rejected. A separate authenticated viewer must then actively activate the crafted link, because the payload does not execute on page load.

3

Does the build content security policy prevent exploitation?

No. The build CSP does not block the script-executing scheme used by the crafted link.
