CVE-2025-14025
Ansible-automation-platform/aap-gateway: aap-gateway: read-only personal access token (pat) bypasses write restrictions
Description

A flaw was found in Ansible Automation Platform (AAP). Read-only scoped OAuth2 API Tokens in AAP, are enforced at the Gateway level for Gateway-specific operations. However, this vulnerability allows read-only tokens to perform write operations on backend services (e.g., Controller, Hub, EDA). If this flaw were exploited, an attacker‘s capabilities would only be limited by role based access controls (RBAC).

CVSS Scores
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System is a standardized framework for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities in software and systems. We collect and displays CVSS scores from various sources for each CVE.
Score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Score Impact Score Source
CVSS 3.1 HIGH 53f830b8-0a3f-465b-8143-3b8a9948e749
CVSS 3.1 HIGH [email protected]
CVSS 3.1 HIGH MITRE-CVE
Solution
Ensure API tokens are strictly enforced at the gateway level for all operations.
  • Apply vendor patches or updates for Ansible Automation Platform.
  • Verify API token scope enforcement at the gateway.
  • Review and enforce role-based access controls (RBAC) rigorously.
