Description
A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller.
When creating or editing an execution environment, the controller does not verify
that the requesting user has use permission on the container registry credential
referenced by the execution environment; it validates only the organization and
the credential kind. An authenticated user who is an execution-environment admin
of one organization can associate a container registry credential belonging to a
different organization -- one they cannot otherwise read, list, or use -- to an
execution environment they control. When a job runs with that execution
environment, the controller decrypts the foreign credential's registry password
and supplies it to the container runtime, disclosing another organization's
registry credentials across the tenant boundary.
