Doc Text:	JobJobEventsChildrenSummary view has no model/parent_model. ModelAccessPermission.check_get_permissions() falls through (returns True) for any authenticated user. The view uses raw get_object_or_404(Job, pk) without DRF object-level permission check. Zero-privilege user reads event tree structure, event_processing_finished status, and enumerates Job IDs platform-wide via 200/404 oracle. Sibling endpoint /jobs/{id}/job_events/ correctly returns 403.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-06 22:55:42 UTC

A flaw was found in automation-controller. The JobJobEventsChildrenSummary view does not declare model or parent_model attributes, causing ModelAccessPermission.check_get_permissions() to return True for any authenticated user. An attacker with any valid credential can read job event tree structure and event_processing_finished status for arbitrary jobs across all organizations, and enumerate valid job IDs platform-wide via the 200/404 response oracle.
