Title
Awx: automation-controller: awx: github webhook second-order ssrf via unvalidated statuses_url exfiltrates pat credential
Summary
A flaw was found in the AWX GitHub webhook integration. When processing GitHub pull_request webhooks, the controller stores the pull_request.statuses_url value from the webhook payload without validating that it points to a trusted GitHub API endpoint. If a job template is configured with a GitHub Personal Access Token as its webhook credential, the controller later POSTs that token to the stored callback URL when posting job status updates. An attacker who can submit a correctly signed forged webhook using the job template's webhook_key can redirect the callback to an attacker-controlled URL and exfiltrate the configured GitHub PAT.

Restrict network access to controller webhook endpoints so only trusted GitHub egress IPs or an approved reverse proxy can reach them.\n2. Protect job template webhook keys as secrets; restrict Job Template admin access; rotate webhook keys if compromise is suspected.\n3. If commit status callback to GitHub is not required, configure GitHub webhooks without a webhook_credential on the job template (this disables PAT transmission on job completion).\n4. Monitor controller logs and outbound connections for unexpected callback destinations following webhook-triggered jobs."

If commit status callback to GitHub is not required, configure GitHub webhooks without a webhook_credential on the job template (this disables PAT transmission on job completion).\n4.
