unauthenticated health-check endpoint /api/v2/ping/
(ApiV2PingView, AllowAny) over-serializes RBAC-gated
automation-mesh data into its anonymous response, exposing the
full instance inventory (node hostnames, node types, UUIDs,
heartbeats, capacities, and exact versions), all instance-group
names and membership, the deployment install UUID, and the
active control node. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can use
this to map the control plane and fingerprint software versions
for targeted attacks. This flaw affects confidentiality only;
it does not expose secrets, credentials, or tenant data.
Analysis and contextual insights are available on OpenCVE Cloud.
Vendor Workaround
There is no configuration option that trims the data returned by the unauthenticated /api/v2/ping/ endpoint (also reachable as /api/controller/v2/ping/). Exposure can be reduced by restricting network access to the automation-controller API so that only trusted networks and health probes can reach it: block or restrict external access to the /api/v2/ping/ and /api/controller/v2/ping/ routes at the reverse proxy, load balancer, or firewall, and front health checks with an infrastructure-level probe that does not proxy the /ping/ endpoint to untrusted clients. The definitive fix is to update to a version of automation-controller that no longer serializes instance, instance-group, install UUID, and active-node data in the unauthenticated response.
