CWE-22  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:8 ansible-test to version 0:2.9.7-1.el8ae or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2020:1541.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ansible-test package and not the ansible-test package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.17 and prior, 2.8.9 and prior, and 2.9.6 and prior 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.
