Unauthenticated event injection via Subject header spoofing
Published Jul 15, 2026 · Updated Jul 15, 2026
Authentication bypass in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform allows remote attackers to inject events into protected EDA streams. The non-mTLS /eda-event-streams/ route forwards a client-supplied Subject header because requestHeadersToRemove is missing from Envoy's live xDS configuration. When an event-stream UUID is known, a 403 response reveals the expected certificate DN; spoofing that value bypasses mTLS and can trigger downstream rulebook automation.
