    Arbitrary Code Execution

    ansible is a simple IT automation system.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution via arguments that are not sanitized, which in turn allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging access to an Ansible managed host and providing a crafted Ansible fact, for example: (1) a trailing src= clause, (2) a trailing temp= clause, or (3) a trailing validate= clause accompanied by a shell command.

    ansible is a simple IT automation system.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When a module has an argument_spec with sub parameters marked as no_log, passing an invalid parameter to the module will cause the task to fail before the no_log configuration is processed, which may lead to the data being displayed.

    Arbitrary Code Execution

    ansible is a simple IT automation system.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. It was found that inventory variables are loaded from current working directory when running ad-hoc commands which are under an attacker's control, allowing to run arbitrary code as a result.

    Command Injection

    ansible is a simple IT automation system.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection. If a user is trying to put templates in multi-line yaml strings and the facts being handled don't routinely include special template characters, then their controller will be vulnerable to a template injection through the facts used in template.

    Information Exposure

    ansible is a simple IT automation system.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. A flaw was found in the use of insufficiently random values in Ansible. Two random password lookups of the same length generate the equal value as the template caching action for the same file since no re-evaluation happens. The highest threat from this vulnerability would be that all passwords are exposed at once for the file.

    Information Exposure

    ansible is a simple IT automation system.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. Logging with ansible is set at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

    Information Exposure

    ansible is a simple IT automation system.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. In several modules parameters containing credentials are being logged in plain-text on managed nodes, as well as being made visible on the controller node when run in verbose mode. These parameters were not protected by the no_log feature. An attacker can take advantage of this information to steal those credentials, provided they have access to the log files containing them.

    Race Condition

    ansible is a simple IT automation system.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition. A race condition flaw exists when running a playbook with an unprivileged become user. When Ansible needs to run a module with become user, the temporary directory is created in /var/tmp. This directory is created with umask 77 && mkdir -p <dir>;. This operation does not fail if the directory already exists and is owned by another user. An attacker could take advantage to gain control of the become user as the target directory can be retrieved by iterating /proc/<pid>/cmdline.

    Arbitrary File Write via Archive Extraction (Zip Slip)

    ansible is a simple IT automation system.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write via Archive Extraction (Zip Slip). A flaw was found when using the Extract-Zip function from the win_unzip module as the extracted file(s) are not checked if they belong to the destination folder. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting an archive anywhere in the file system, using a path traversal. This issue is fixed in 2.10.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. Filenames in the nxos_file_copy module are used to perform actions to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. nxos_file_copy uses the remote_file parameter to determine the files destination. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to take advantage of this by performing an OS command injection.
