CopyAPIView (awx/awx/api/generics.py:873) sets permission_classes =
(IsAuthenticated,), so DRF's get_object() performs no object-level
RBAC. The get() handler (lines 988–991) explicitly guards with
request.user.can_access(obj._class_, 'read', obj) — but post()
(lines 1001–1010) does not. POST only checks:
can_access(model, 'add', create_kwargs_check)
can_access(model, 'copy_related', obj)
For JobTemplate, can_add (awx/awx/main/access.py:1465–1520) gates on
inventory.use_role + project.use_role +
execution_environment.read_role — resource-level roles that do not
imply read on the source JT — and can_copy_related (1522–1534) checks
only credentials.use_role. None of these imply the caller can read the
source JT.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Automation Platform Controller. The CopyAPIView.post() method does not verify that the requesting user has read access to the source object before performing the copy operation, while the corresponding GET handler does enforce this check. A user with Use roles on a shared project and inventory can copy any Job Template built on those resources — including Job Templates they cannot read — and become Admin of the clone. The clone contains the source Job Template's plaintext host_config_key and extra_vars fields, which frequently contain secrets. The recovered host_config_key can be used to authenticate against the original Job Template's provisioning callback endpoint.
