CVE-2026-84692 is a missing-authorization vulnerability in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Automation Controller workflow job template node handling. An attacker can create a workflow job template node with its unified job template unset, then patch the node to assign a target unified job template. The patch operation bypasses the required execute-permission validation, permitting cross-tenant execution that should be prohibited by Automation Controller RBAC controls.
