CVE-2017-7466

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ansible versions prior to 2.3

Description The issue is related to input validation in the handling of data sent from client systems. An attacker with control over a client system being managed by Ansible could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the Ansible server using the Ansible server privileges.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.3, update to version 2.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Ansible server and limiting the privileges of the Ansible server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
