Survey questions of type password are write-only and stored\nencrypted, displayed only as a placeholder on read. When a schedule or\nworkflow job template node is revalidated against a tightened survey\nspecification, the controller decrypts the stored password and includes its\nplaintext value in the minimum/maximum length validation error message\nreturned in the HTTP response. A user with the delegated JobTemplate Admin\nrole can tighten the survey length constraint and trigger revalidation of a\nschedule or node created by another, higher-privileged user, thereby\nrecovering that user's stored password in plaintext.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":7.7},"cwes":["CWE-209"],"references":["https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71113","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71114","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71177","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:71179","https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-84499"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:56:02.509636177+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-84499","score":0.00379,"percentile":0.31922,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
