Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2 6 For Rhel 9
Monthly
Authentication bypass in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 allows authenticated attackers to hijack arbitrary user accounts, including administrator accounts, via email-based identity provider linking manipulation. The AAP gateway's user auto-link feature matches external IDP identities to existing accounts by email without ownership verification, enabling account takeover when an attacker controls an IDP account with a victim's email address. Red Hat has released patch RHSA-2026:13508. EPSS and KEV data not provided, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) and high confidentiality/integrity impact make this a critical authentication control failure requiring immediate remediation in environments using external identity providers.
