How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 ansible to version 2.9.7+dfsg-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ansible package and not the ansible package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

An archive traversal flaw was found in all ansible-engine versions 2.9.x prior to 2.9.7, when running ansible-galaxy collection install. When extracting a collection .tar.gz file, the directory is created without sanitizing the filename. An attacker could take advantage to overwrite any file within the system.
