Vendor Workaround
There is no complete mitigation for this vulnerability other than applying the update when available. However, the following measures reduce exposure: 1. In multi-organization deployments, restrict user account creation to necessary personnel and audit user organization memberships. 2. If a reverse proxy or load balancer is in front of the Controller, consider restricting WebSocket upgrade requests (/websocket/) to authenticated sessions with known legitimate use cases. 3. For managed service deployments, engage the managed services team to assess whether additional network-level WebSocket filtering can be applied at the service mesh layer. 4. Monitor WebSocket subscription activity for users subscribing to broadcast groups outside their organization scope.

| Description | An incorrect authorization vulnerability was found in AWX's WebSocket consumer. The consumer_access() function only enforces access controls for object-level event groups (job_events, workflow_events, ad_hoc_command_events) but does not restrict subscriptions to global broadcast groups such as 'jobs-status_changed'. When an authenticated user subscribes to a global broadcast group, the server accepts the subscription without verifying that the user has permission to view the associated resources. In multi-organization deployments, this allows a low-privilege user in one organization to receive real-time job status metadata from all organizations, including job IDs, status transitions, timestamps, and infrastructure topology details such as instance group names, bypassing the organization isolation enforced by the REST API. | |
