CVE-2026-52902
A path traversal vulnerability was found in awxkit, the CLI tool for AWX. The YAML !include directive does not sanitize file paths, allowing an attacker to craft a malicious YAML file that reads arbitrary YAML-formatted files from the local filesystem when a user imports it using "awx --conf.format yaml import". This is a client-side vulnerability requiring user interaction.
What the metrics mean
- It is requires local access to the machine.
- For an attacker who can reach it, exploitation depends on conditions outside the attacker's control.
- To exploit it, no account is needed.
- Beyond that, someone has to be persuaded to take an action first.
