Description
A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-
controller. When attaching a Galaxy or Automation Hub credential to an
organization through the galaxy_credentials relationship endpoint, the
controller verifies only that the requesting user can read the credential,
rather than that they hold use permission on it, unlike other credential
consumption in the product. An authenticated user who administers one
organization and has read-only visibility of a credential in another
organization -- for example a platform auditor -- can bind that foreign
credential to their own organization. On the next project synchronization the
controller decrypts the credential server-side and uses its token to
authenticate to the credential owner's Automation Hub, allowing cross-tenant use
of another organization's secret.
