# CVE-2026-84499

> 7.7 HIGH

## Beschreibung

A flaw was found in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform's automation-
controller. Survey questions of type password are write-only and stored
encrypted, displayed only as a placeholder on read. When a schedule or
workflow job template node is revalidated against a tightened survey
specification, the controller decrypts the stored password and includes its
plaintext value in the minimum/maximum length validation error message
returned in the HTTP response. A user with the delegated JobTemplate Admin
role can tighten the survey length constraint and trigger revalidation of a
schedule or node created by another, higher-privileged user, thereby
recovering that user's stored password in plaintext.
