Published Sep 23, 2026CWE-96EPSS 0.80%

Overview

CVE-2026-85475 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 23, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

A flaw was found in the Ansible Automation Platform automation controller. The

external logging (rsyslog) configuration is generated by interpolating

user-controlled settings — LOG_AGGREGATOR_HOST, LOG_AGGREGATOR_MAX_DISK_USAGE_PATH

and LOG_AGGREGATOR_RSYSLOGD_ERROR_LOG_FILE — into an rsyslog RainerScript config

file without neutralizing RainerScript syntax. A privileged (superuser) user can

inject rsyslog directives, including an omprog action, causing arbitrary command

execution inside the control-plane rsyslog component. This allows disclosure of

the controller SECRET_KEY and database credentials, decryption of all stored

credentials, and full compromise of the control plane.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
