Git PAT disclosure via unvalidated webhook callback
Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026
SSRF in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform allows remote authenticated users to leak Git PATs through forged webhook callbacks. The callback path trusts pull_request.statuses_url from the signed GitHub payload, persists it in job extra variables, and sends a status POST with the configured PAT in the Authorization header. Exploitation requires admin rights on a webhook-enabled job template and its signing key; the result is PAT disclosure and access to internal or loopback endpoints from the control node.
