What is CVE-2026-84486?

A significant flaw exists in the automation-controller of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, where four debug views improperly allow access to any user, including unauthenticated clients. This vulnerability permits an unauthenticated remote attacker to repeatedly trigger internal task, dependency, and workflow schedulers leading to the potential for job dispatch stalling for all tenants. Furthermore, the debug root view exposes the list of debug endpoints to unauthorized callers, increasing the risk of exploitation and resource depletion on the controller web workers.
