CVE-2026-84708 is an information-exposure vulnerability in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Automation Controller container groups. A container-group pod_spec_override can cause job pods to receive the Automation Controller service-account token and secrets from the control-plane namespace. This permits a workload launched through the affected container-group configuration to access control-plane credentials and secret material that should not be available to the job pod.
