CVE-2026-84691
NVD: A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation- controller. NVD: The setting that formats the log message emitted for API 4XX errors is an administrator-controlled Python format-string template that is rendered with a live user object as an argument. NVD: Because Python string formatting permits attribute and item traversal on its arguments, an administrator can craft a template that walks from the user object into the application settings and reads the Django secret key and the database password.
