NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream automation-controller-cli package and not the automation-controller-cli package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A path traversal vulnerability was found in awxkit, the CLI tool for AWX. The YAML !include directive does not sanitize file paths, allowing an attacker to craft a malicious YAML file that reads arbitrary YAML-formatted files from the local filesystem when a user imports it using "awx --conf.format yaml import". This is a client-side vulnerability requiring user interaction.
