CVE-2026-84684 is an authorization flaw in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Automation Controller/AWX constructed-inventory attachment handling. The attachment authorization check requires only read permission on the source inventory, rather than enforcing the authorization required to attach and use that inventory. This permits an authorized low-privilege user to attach a source inventory they can read to a constructed inventory in a manner that bypasses intended tenant and privilege boundaries.
