CVE-2026-6494: Log injection in Ansible Automation Platform MCP server

A log injection flaw in the AAP MCP server lets an unauthenticated remote attacker send crafted input to the `toolsetroute` parameter, which is written to logs unsanitised. Injected newlines and ANSI escape sequences can hide real log entries and forge new ones, enabling social engineering of operators into running dangerous commands or visiting malicious URLs.
