# Safe Codex Prompt: CVE-2026-84706

Prepare a defensive remediation plan for CVE-2026-84706.

Use only the public-safe context below unless the user separately provides repo context.

Source summary: NVD: A flaw was found in Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller. NVD: The custom Credential Type environment-variable injector validates variable names against a deny-list (an ANSIBLE_* prefix check plus a fixed ENV_BLOCKLIST) that omits process-hijacking loader variables such as BASH_ENV, ENV, LD_PRELOAD, LD_LIBRARY_PATH... NVD: Combined with the credential file injector, a privileged user can write an attacker-controlled script into the execution environment and point BASH_ENV at it, obtaining arbitrary code execution inside the execution-environment container for any job that...
Affected vendor/product: unknown / unknown
Risk context: {'severity': 'HIGH', 'cvss_score': 7.6, 'cvss_label': 'HIGH', 'epss_percentile': 0.21052, 'kev_status': 'not_listed', 'risk_flags': ['CVSS HIGH', 'official reference present']}
Remediation context: {'recommended_route': 'vendor_patch_or_mitigation', 'reference_status': 'official_reference_present', 'patch_status': 'requires_confirmation', 'fixed_versions': [], 'mitigation_notes': ['Remediation reference present; patch status requires confirmation in the linked advisory.', 'Patch status requires confirmation from the linked advisory or official source.']}

Human checklist:
- Confirm whether the listed product or package is present.
- Confirm affected version.
- Review vendor advisory or official source.
- Confirm patch, fixed version, mitigation, workaround, or monitor-only decision.
- Confirm exposure.
- Document remediation status.

Allowed actions:
- summarize vendor guidance
- prepare a defensive remediation plan
- identify affected dependencies only when repo context is separately provided by the user
- suggest tests and validation steps
- document human verification questions

Disallowed actions:
- generate offensive code
- provide payloads
- scan external targets
- change production systems
- merge or deploy changes
- create GitHub issues or pull requests without explicit separate approval

Acceptance criteria:
- Affected product or dependency presence is confirmed by a human.
- Affected version is confirmed or marked not applicable.
- Official advisory or source reference is reviewed.
- Patch, fixed version, mitigation, workaround, or monitor-only decision is documented.
- Validation steps are proposed without external scanning or production mutation.

You may suggest tests and validation steps.
You must not generate offensive code.
You must not provide payloads.
You must not scan external targets.
You must not change production systems.
You must not merge or deploy.
Human approval is required.
