CVE-2026-68563 (GCVE-0-2026-68563)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-07-30 21:13 – Updated: 2026-07-31 19:21

Title

Ansible-collection-redhat-leapp: ansible-collection-redhat-leapp: information disclosure of postgresql data via insecure backup permissions

Summary

A flaw was found in ansible-collection-redhat-leapp. When a remediation task is executed with elevated privileges and the `leapp_old_postgresql_data` option is selected, a PostgreSQL data backup archive is created with insecure permissions. This allows a local non-root user on the managed node to read sensitive archived PostgreSQL data, leading to information disclosure.

Severity

5.5 (Medium)

This prevents unauthorized local users from accessing sensitive PostgreSQL data. If the current task must be used as-is, restrict local-user access on affected systems and remove or re-permission the generated backup archive immediately after it is created.
