A flaw was found in the Ansible Automation Platform automation-controller webhook receivers. The Bitbucket Data Center webhook receiver at POST /api/controller/v2/{job_templates,workflow_job_templates}/<pk>/bitbucket_dc/ is intentionally unauthenticated (permission_classes=(AllowAny,), authentication_classes=()) and authorizes requests by verifying an HMAC over the request body keyed by the per-template webhook_key. BitbucketDcWebhookReceiver.must_check_signature() returns False when the X-Event-Key request header is 'diagnostics:ping', because Bitbucket does not sign ping requests. This carve-out is evaluated only after the receiver has already resolved the target template: get_object() filters templates to those with webhook_service='bitbucket_dc' and a non-empty webhook_key and raises PermissionDenied (HTTP 403) when no template matches, whereas a matching template proceeds past the skipped signature check to the ping short-circuit and returns HTTP 200 with the body "Webhook ignored". As a result, an unauthenticated remote attacker who sends a diagnostics:ping request to each template ID observes a 200-vs-403 response discrepancy that reveals exactly which Job Template and Workflow Job Template IDs have Bitbucket DC webhooks configured, with no credentials and no knowledge of the webhook_key. This is unauthenticated reconnaissance: it confirms valid template IDs, reveals which automation is wired to Bitbucket Data Center, and lets an attacker focus subsequent webhook_key brute-force or SCM-side spoofing attempts on the small set of templates that would actually accept signed payloads. The ping path performs no action and no secret values are disclosed. Upstream: https://github.com/ansible/tower (awx) Affected file: awx/api/views/webhooks.py:306-308 (BitbucketDcWebhookReceiver.must_check_signature), with webhooks.py:69-78 (get_object) and :144-146 (post ping short-circuit)
