CVE-2025-53862

Sensitive data disclosure via unauthenticated API responses

Published Jul 11, 2025 · Updated Nov 21, 2025

Information disclosure in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2 allows remote authenticated users to read sensitive API response data. Three API endpoints return verbose responses without authenticating each request; Red Hat has not disclosed their paths or response fields. Exploitation requires adjacent-network reachability and low platform privileges under Red Hat's assessment, and the disclosed impact is read-only.
