/api/v2/config/ is protected only by IsAuthenticated. license_info (account_number, subscription_id, pool_id, sku, support_level, instance counts) returned to any authenticated user. The superuser/auditor gate only covers project_base_dir/project_local_paths/custom_virtualenvs, not license_info. Enables social engineering against Red Hat support and estate sizing reconnaissance.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-06 22:59:28 UTC
A flaw was found in automation-controller. The /api/v2/config/ endpoint returns license_info including Red Hat account number, subscription ID, pool ID, SKU, support level, and instance counts to any authenticated user. The existing superuser/auditor gate only restricts project_base_dir, project_local_paths, and custom_virtualenvs, but does not cover the license_info block.
