A flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all versions 2.7.x, 2.8.x and 2.9.x prior to 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 respectively, when using ansible_facts as a subkey of itself and promoting it to a variable when inject is enabled, overwriting the ansible_facts after the clean. An attacker could take advantage of this by altering the ansible_facts, such as ansible_hosts, users and any other key data which would lead into privilege escalation or code injection.

AuthZ

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when the fetch module is used

CVE-2020-1735 4.6 - Medium - March 16, 2020

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when the fetch module is used. An attacker could intercept the module, inject a new path, and then choose a new destination path on the controller node. All versions in 2.7.x, 2.8.x and 2.9.x branches are believed to be vulnerable.

Directory traversal

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine when a file is moved using atomic_move primitive as the file mode cannot be specified

CVE-2020-1736 3.3 - Low - March 16, 2020

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine when a file is moved using atomic_move primitive as the file mode cannot be specified. This sets the destination files world-readable if the destination file does not exist and if the file exists, the file could be changed to have less restrictive permissions before the move. This could lead to the disclosure of sensitive data. All versions in 2.7.x, 2.8.x and 2.9.x branches are believed to be vulnerable.

Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine when the module package or service is used and the parameter 'use' is not specified

CVE-2020-1738 3.9 - Low - March 16, 2020

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. All versions in 2.7.x, 2.8.x and 2.9.x branches are believed to be vulnerable.

Argument Injection

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine when using Ansible Vault for editing encrypted files

CVE-2020-1740 4.7 - Medium - March 16, 2020

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine when using Ansible Vault for editing encrypted files. When a user executes "ansible-vault edit", another user on the same computer can read the old and new secret, as it is created in a temporary file with mkstemp and the returned file descriptor is closed and the method write_data is called to write the existing secret in the file. This method will delete the file before recreating it insecurely. All versions in 2.7.x, 2.8.x and 2.9.x branches are believed to be vulnerable.

Insecure Temporary File

A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior

CVE-2020-1739 3.9 - Low - March 12, 2020

An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.

Information Disclosure

A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 2.7.17 and prior

CVE-2020-1733 5 - Medium - March 11, 2020

A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 2.7.17 and prior, 2.8.9 and prior, 2.9.6 and prior when running a playbook with an unprivileged become user. When Ansible needs to run a module with become user, the temporary directory is created in /var/tmp. This directory is created with "umask 77 && mkdir -p <dir>"; this operation does not fail if the directory already exists and is owned by another user. An attacker could take advantage to gain control of the become user as the target directory can be retrieved by iterating '/proc/<pid>/cmdline'.

Race Condition

Ansible, versions 2.9.x before 2.9.1, 2.8.x before 2.8.7 and Ansible versions 2.7.x before 2.7.15, is not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used send tasks results events to collectors
