CVE-2025-9907 Event-driven-ansible: event stream test mode exposes sensitive headers in aap eda

Description

A flaw was found in the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, Event-Driven Ansible (EDA) Event Stream API. This vulnerability allows exposure of sensitive client credentials and internal infrastructure headers via the test_headers field when an event stream is in test mode. The possible outcome includes leakage of internal infrastructure details, accidental disclosure of user or system credentials, privilege escalation if high-value tokens are exposed, and persistent sensitive data exposure to all users with read access on the event stream.

Exploitable with local access to the machine, with an administrator account and without any user action; an attacker can seriously compromise confidentiality, integrity or availability.
