Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 Container Release Update

Important

A decompression based denial of service flaw has been discovered in the AIOHTTP python library. Library versions 3.13.2 and below allow a zip bomb to be used to execute a DoS against the AIOHTTP server. An attacker may be able to send a compressed request that when decompressed by AIOHTTP could exhaust the host's memory.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in brace-expansion. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted input to the expand() function, which can lead to excessive memory consumption. This can cause a denial of service (DoS) by crashing the application due to an out-of-memory error.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in Django. GeoDjango's spatial lookups can be exploited by a staff user with view permissions who submits a specially crafted spatial-field filter. This vulnerability allows an attacker to write arbitrary files to the server, which can lead to remote code execution. Additionally, it can be used to make outbound network requests, resulting in server-side request forgery.

CWE-434 - Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

A flaw was found in LangChain. Multiple functions in `langchain_core.prompts.loading` read files from paths embedded in deserialized configuration dictionaries without validation for directory traversal or absolute path injection. When an application passes user-influenced prompt configurations to `load_prompt()` or `load_prompt_from_config()`, an attacker can read arbitrary files on the host filesystem.

CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

A remote attacker can exploit this by providing specially crafted BER/CER/DER-encoded ASN.1 data with a large exponent in the REAL value. When the application subsequently prints, logs, compares, or performs arithmetic on the decoded value, this can cause excessive CPU and memory consumption, leading to a denial of service (DoS).

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in GitPython. This vulnerability stems from an incomplete command injection blocklist that fails to account for Git's long-option prefix abbreviation feature. An attacker can bypass existing security measures by using abbreviated option names, which Git then resolves to dangerous options. This allows for the execution of arbitrary commands, leading to potential arbitrary code execution.

CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

A flaw was found in the brace-expansion library. The `expand()` function does not apply `maxLength` when constructing comma-alternative intermediate arrays or padded sequences, allowing attacker-controlled input to exhaust memory or block the event loop, resulting in a denial of service. This issue is due to an incomplete mitigation of CVE-2026-14257.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in AIOHTTP, an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework. This vulnerability involves an out-of-bounds heap read in the C response parser when processing malformed HTTP responses. An attacker operating a malicious server, or even an accidental malformed response, could exploit this to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) in the client application, making it unavailable.

CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds Read
