CVE-2026-52902: awxkit has a path traversal vulnerability

June 9, 2026 (updated July 31, 2026)

A path traversal vulnerability was found in awxkit, the CLI tool for AWX. The YAML !include directive does not sanitize file paths, allowing an attacker to craft a malicious YAML file that reads arbitrary YAML-formatted files from the local filesystem when a user imports it using “awx –conf.format yaml import”. This is a client-side vulnerability requiring user interaction.
