The custom\nCredential Type environment-variable injector validates variable names against a\ndeny-list (an ANSIBLE_* prefix check plus a fixed ENV_BLOCKLIST) that omits\nprocess-hijacking loader variables such as BASH_ENV, ENV, LD_PRELOAD, LD_LIBRARY_PATH,\nPYTHONSTARTUP and GIT_SSH_COMMAND. Combined with the credential file injector, a\nprivileged user can write an attacker-controlled script into the execution environment\nand point BASH_ENV at it, obtaining arbitrary code execution inside the\nexecution-environment container for any job that attaches a credential of that type.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:N","score":7.6},"cwes":["CWE-184"],"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-2026-84706"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:56:02.509636177+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-84706","score":0.00306,"percentile":0.23468,"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).
