| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x through 2.9.x
Description
A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when the fetch module is used, allowing an attacker to intercept the module, inject a new path, and choose a new destination path on the controller node. The vulnerability is related to insufficient path name restrictions in the fetch module, which could allow an attacker to access and compromise confidential data.
Recommendations
For versions 2.7.x, 2.8.x, and 2.9.x, consider disabling the fetch module until a patch is available to prevent exploitation.
Restrict access to the controller node to minimize the risk of an attacker choosing a new destination path.
Avoid using the fetch module in sensitive environments until the issue is resolved.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
Exploit
