Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-18 18:31 – Updated: 2026-08-18 18:31

Details

A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability was found in AWX's webhook status callback mechanism. When processing GitHub pull request webhooks, AWX extracts the status callback URL (pull_request.statuses_url) from the incoming webhook payload without validating the target host against the expected Git provider. This URL is persisted in job extra variables and later used to send authenticated status updates. A user with admin role on a webhook-enabled job template can read the template's webhook signing key, forge a signed GitHub webhook payload with an arbitrary statuses_url, and cause AWX to POST status updates to an attacker-controlled or internal URL. The status update request includes the configured Git Personal Access Token (PAT) in the Authorization header, resulting in credential leakage to the attacker-specified endpoint.

Severity

7.7 (High)

Restrict the admin role on webhook-enabled job templates to trusted personnel who already have legitimate access to the associated Git credentials.\n2. Use Git credentials with the minimum required scope (e.g., read-only access to the specific repository) to limit the impact of credential leakage.\n3. Implement network egress filtering on the Automation Controller nodes to prevent outbound connections to non-allowlisted hosts. Block outbound connections to loopback (127.0.0.0/8), private (RFC1918), and link-local (169.254.0.0/16) address ranges.\n4. Monitor for unusual outbound connections from the Controller node to unexpected destinations.\n5. Rotate Git PAT credentials periodically and after any suspected compromise."
