CVE-2026-71365

28th percentile - higher than 28% of all known CVEs

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.

An attacker can access internal network resources and steal Git access tokens, potentially leading to data confidentiality breaches, privilege escalation, and further attacks on the infrastructure.

Update AWX to a version that includes a fix for URL validation in webhooks. Additionally, restrict access to webhook-enabled templates and monitor outbound traffic.
