Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Description

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless language.

Security Fix(es):

• automation-eda-controller: token exposed at importing project (CVE-2023-4380)
• python3-cryptography/python39-cryptography: memory corruption via immutable objects (CVE-2023-23931)
• python3-django/python39-django: Potential regular expression denial of service vulnerability in EmailValidator/URLValidator (CVE-2023-36053)
• python3-requests/python39-requests: Unintended leak of Proxy-Authorization header (CVE-2023-32681)

• Activation statuses are now reported correctly, whether you are disabling or enabling them. (AAP-12896)
• When run_job_template action fails now, ansible-rulebook prints an error log in the activation output and creates an entry in rule audit so that the user is alerted that the rule has failed. (AAP-12909)
• When a user tries to bulk delete rulebook activations from the list, the request now completes successfully and consistently. (AAP-13093)
• The Rulebook Activation link now functions correctly in the Rule Audit Detail UI. (AAP-13182)
