CVE-2026-84394

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform ausnutzen, um seine Privilegien zu erhöhen, beliebigen Code auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren oder offenzulegen und einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen.

### Impact `fast-uri` accepts a host that contains an unbalanced or misplaced authority bracket (`[` or `]`) without reporting an error. A host that starts with `[` but does not end with `]`, such as `[@127.0.0.1`, is neither validated as an IP literal nor canonicalized as a domain name, so `parse()` returns it as the host with `error` undefined, while Node's `URL` (and `http.get`, `axios`, `got`, and other clients built on it) resolve the same string to `127.0.0.1`. An application that reads `parse().host` to make a host decision (an SSRF denylist, a redirect allowlist, or proxy routing) and then passes the original URL to an HTTP client evaluates its policy against a string that is not the host the request reaches. The same host is carried through `normalize()`, `equal()`, and `resolve()`. ### Patches This vulnerability has been patched in fast-uri `4.1.4`, `3.1.7`, and `2.4.6`. `parse()` now reports `URI host is malformed.` for any host that contains a bracket but is not a valid `[IPv6]` literal. All users should upgrade. ### Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately possible, reject any URL whose host contains a `[` or `]` that is not a well-formed IPv6 literal before making a host decision. Clients that fail closed on credential-bearing URLs, such as Node's global `fetch()`, are not affected by the reported vector.
