CVE-2026-84680 is an authorization flaw in Red Hat Ansible Automation Controller affecting organization-level Galaxy credential attachment. The attachment operation verifies only that the requesting user has read permission on the credential, rather than enforcing the required credential-use permission. A user able to read a Galaxy credential can therefore attach and use it in an organization without being authorized to use that credential.
