• ansible-core: ansible-core: ansible.builtin.git invokes git without a `--` separator, allowing argument injection via a `-`-leading repository URL (e.g. --upload-pack) -> RCE (CVE-2026-84503)
• candlepin: Consumer certificate can register systems in another organization (CVE-2026-111456)

• pyjwt: Token forgery via acceptance of public JWK containers as HMAC secrets (CVE-2026-102273)
• pyjwt: Token forgery via improper Unicode byte-order mark handling (CVE-2026-102272)

• sequoia-openpgp: Cryptographic integrity compromise via key flag confusion (CVE-2026-42784)

Bug Fix(es):

• Attempting to assign content-view-environments via hammer when LCE is not synced by content source should propagate error message text to hammer (SAT-52669)
• Client failed to register to the Satellite with "integer out of range" error (SAT-52666)
• Host::Managed audit exclusions not applied, resulting in excessive audit records in Red Hat Satellite. (SAT-52667)
