# CVE-2025-49520: Event-driven-ansible: authenticated argument injection in git url in eda project creation

Status: published. Published: 2025-06-30. Updated: 2026-11-03.

A flaw was found in Ansible Automation Platform’s EDA component where user-supplied Git URLs are passed unsanitized to the git ls-remote command. This vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to inject arguments and execute arbitrary commands on the EDA worker. In Kubernetes/OpenShift environments, this can lead to service account token theft and cluster access.
