Credential Exposure

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Credential Exposure in amazon.aws.ec2_instance, which leaks passwords into logs when tower_callback.windows is set. This was resolved in version 5.1.0 of the amazon.aws.ec2_instance module. Note: You're only vulnerable if you're using the amazon.aws collection

Information Exposure

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure where user credentials are disclosed by default in the traceback error message of set_options.

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.

How to fix Command Injection?

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. 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.

Information Exposure

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. The return value of a specific module i.e. basic.py of ansible engine is not being masked by default while using the fallback sub-option.The return value may contain sensitive info like secret Or Credentials.

Information Exposure

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When using module_args, tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data which would be exposed in the event data. Unauthorized users would be able to read this data.

Race Condition

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition. This flaw refers to the incomplete fix for CVE-2020-1733 insecure temporary directory when running become_user from become directive. This vulnerability is not mitigated fully as there are race conditions from the original flaw could still happen on systems using ACLs and FUSE filesystems.

Information Exposure

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When a user executes ansible-vault edit, another user on the same computer can read the old and new secret, as it is created in a temporary file with mkstemp and the returned file descriptor is closed and the method write_data is called to write the existing secret in the file. This method will delete the file before recreating it insecurely.

Information Exposure

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When a password is set with the argument password of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.

Arbitrary Code Injection

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection. The solaris_zone module checks the status of the zone by executing an os.system() call and using the zone name as a parameter. A malicious user could provide a crafted zone name which allows commands to be executed into the server manipulating the module behaviour.

Information Exposure

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. Execution of ansible playbooks on Windows platforms with PowerShell ScriptBlock logging and Module logging enabled can allow for passwords to appear in EventLogs in plaintext. A malicious user with administrator privileges on the machine can view these logs and discover the plaintext password.
