What it is

StringListPathField.to_internal_value() calls

os.path.exists() on unbounded user-supplied paths.

200 vs 400 response reveals existence of arbitrary

absolute paths on the controller-web pod. Tenant

superuser can confirm /etc/tower/SECRET_KEY, k8s

service-account token, receptor sockets, ConfigMap

mount points. Mainly impactful on managed AAP

(ansiblecloud.com) where tenant admin != host admin.
