Authenticated privilege escalation via missing OAuth scope checks
Published Nov 25, 2024 · Updated Nov 20, 2025
Improper access control in Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 allows remote authenticated users to write data with read-scoped OAuth2 tokens. Affected django-ansible-base APIViews omit OAuth2ScopePermission from permission_classes, so unsafe HTTP methods do not enforce token scopes. Exploitation requires a valid OAuth2 token, and resulting changes remain limited to resources permitted for its user.
