Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ansible-runner version 2.0.0

Description A flaw was found in ansible-runner where the default temporary files configuration is written to world R/W locations. This flaw allows an attacker to pre-create the directory, resulting in reading private information or forcing ansible-runner to write files as the legitimate user in a place they did not expect. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.

Recommendations For version 2.0.0, consider changing the default temporary files configuration to a secure location to prevent unauthorized access. As a temporary workaround, restrict write access to the temporary files directory to minimize the risk of exploitation.
