What is CVE-2025-5988?

A vulnerability exists in the Ansible aap-gateway where cross-site request forgery checks are inadequately implemented. This oversight allows unauthorized requests to be sent from the gateway to external components, like the controller, hub, and event-driven automation (EDA) systems, potentially compromising the integrity of the application. It’s critical for organizations using Ansible to address this gap to ensure robust security against CSRF attacks.
