CVE-2020-1738

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x through 2.9.x

Description A flaw was found in Ansible Engine when the module package or service is used and the parameter use is not specified. If a previous task is executed with a malicious user, the module sent can be selected by the attacker using the ansible facts file.

Recommendations For versions 2.7.x, 2.8.x, and 2.9.x, consider specifying the use parameter when using the module package or service to prevent exploitation. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the ansible facts file to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the module package or service with untrusted users until a fix is available.
