CVE-2026-6494 Details
Description
A flaw was found in the AAP MCP server. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit a log injection vulnerability by sending specially crafted input to the `toolsetroute` parameter. This parameter is not properly sanitized before being written to logs, allowing the attacker to inject control characters such as newlines and ANSI escape sequences. This enables the attacker to obscure legitimate log entries and insert forged ones, which could facilitate social engineering attacks, potentially leading to an operator executing dangerous commands or visiting malicious URLs.
A log injection vulnerability has been identified in the AAP MCP server component of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit unsanitized input in the 'toolsetroute' parameter, injecting control characters such as newlines and ANSI escape sequences. The lack of proper input sanitization before logging enables attackers to obscure genuine log entries and insert fake ones. Such forged log entries could be used in social engineering attacks, potentially leading operators to execute harmful commands or visit malicious URLs.
