automation-controller: automation-controller-container: automation-controller: execution environment credential foreign key is not use-permission checked, allowing an organization execution-environment admin to bind and disclose another organization's container registry credential (cross-tenant credential disclosure)

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-controller. When creating or editing an execution environment, the controller does not verify that the requesting user has use permission on the container registry credential referenced by the execution environment; it validates only the organization and the credential kind. An authenticated user who is an execution-environment admin of one organization can associate a container registry credential belonging to a different organization -- one they cannot otherwise read, list, or use -- to an execution environment they control. When a job runs with that execution environment, the controller decrypts the foreign credential's registry password and supplies it to the container runtime, disclosing another organization's registry credentials across the tenant boundary.

The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with elevated privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.
