A flaw was found in Ansible Tower's interface before 3.1.5 and 3.2.0 with SCM repositories. If a Tower project (SCM repository) definition does not have the 'delete before update' flag set, an attacker with commit access to the upstream playbook source repository could create a Trojan playbook that, when executed by Tower, modifies the checked out SCM repository to add git hooks. These git hooks could, in turn, cause arbitrary command and code execution as the user Tower runs as.
Ansible Tower through version 3.2.3 has a vulnerability that allows users only with access to define variables for a job template to execute arbitrary code on the Tower server.
An issue was discovered in kwajdreadheaders in mspack/kwajd.c in lib ...
An issue was discovered in mspack/chmd.c in libmspack before 0.7alpha. There is an off-by-one error in the TOLOWER() macro for CHM decompression.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all versions 2.7.x, 2.8.x and 2.9.x prior to 2.7.17, 2.8.11, and 2.9.7 respectively, when using ansiblefacts as a subkey of itself and promoting it to a variable when inject is enabled, overwriting the ansiblefacts after the clean. An attacker could take advantage of this by altering the ansiblefacts, such as ansiblehosts, users and any other key data which would lead into privilege escalation or code injection.
A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.17 and prior, 2.8.9 and prior, and 2.9.6 and prior when using the Extract-Zip function from the winunzip module as the extracted file(s) are not checked if they belong to the destination folder. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting an archive anywhere in the file system, using a path traversal. This issue is fixed in 2.10.
"User" module leaks any data which is passed on as a parameter to ssh-keygen. This could lean in undesirable situations such as passphrases credentials passed as a parameter for the ssh-keygen executable. Showing those credentials in clear text form for every user which have access just to the process list.
A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine 2.9.18, where sensitive info is not masked by default and is not protected by the nolog feature when using the sub-option feature of the basic.py module. This flaw allows an attacker to obtain sensitive information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
Catastrophic backtracking vulnerability was found in Python. Exploitation of a regular expression in pop3lib's apop() method although limited by 2048 chars, can lead to denial of service.

A flaw was found in the pipe lookup plugin of ansible. Arbitrary commands can be run, when the pipe lookup plugin uses subprocess.Popen() with shell=True, by overwriting ansible facts and the variable is not escaped by quote plugin. An attacker could take advantage and run arbitrary commands by overwriting the ansible facts.
A security flaw was found in Ansible Tower when requesting an OAuth2 token with an OAuth2 application. Ansible Tower uses the token to provide authentication. This flaw allows an attacker to obtain a refresh token that does not expire. The original token granted to the user still has access to Ansible Tower, which allows any user that can gain access to the token to be fully authenticated to Ansible Tower. This flaw affects Ansible Tower versions before 3.6.4 and Ansible Tower versions before 3.5.6.
A flaw was found in Ansible, where a user's controller is vulnerable to template injection. This issue can occur through facts used in the template if the user is trying to put templates in multi-line YAML strings and the facts being handled do not routinely include special template characters. This flaw allows attackers to perform command injection, which discloses sensitive information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.
A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine, in ansible-engine 2.8.x before 2.8.15 and ansible-engine 2.9.x before 2.9.13, when installing packages using the dnf module. GPG signatures are ignored during installation even when disablegpgcheck is set to False, which is the default behavior. This flaw leads to malicious packages being installed on the system and arbitrary code executed via package installation scripts. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity and system availability.
A flaw was found in ansible tower. Default installations are vulnerable to “Job Isolation” Escapes that allows an attacker to elevate to the “awx” user from outside the isolated environment.
Catastrophic backtracking vulnerability was found in Python. Exploitation of a regular expression in difflib.ISLINEJUNK method in servers that use difflib can lead to denial of service.

An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the Poppler library as demonstrated by pdfunite. This may result in a denial of service or other undefined behavior. This flaw may be exploitable when a victim opens a specially crafted PDF file.

An exposure of sensitive information flaw was found in Ansible version 3.7.0. Sensitive information, such tokens and other secrets could be readable and exposed from the rsyslog configuration file, which has set the wrong world-readable permissions. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality. This is fixed in Ansible version 3.7.1.
Ansible Tower as shipped with Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine 5 is vulnerable to CRLF Injection. It was found that X-Forwarded-For header allows internal servers to deploy other systems (using callback).
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 nolog set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used send tasks results events to collectors. This would discloses and collects any sensitive data.

A vulnerability has been found in nxosfilecopy from Ansible module. Filenames are used to perform actions to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. However, nxosfilecopy takes remotefile parameter which is used for destination. Malicious code could crafts the filename parameter to take advantage by performing an OS command injection.
A flaw was found in several ansible modules, where parameters containing credentials, such as secrets, were being logged in plain-text on managed nodes, as well as being made visible on the controller node when run in verbose mode. These parameters were not protected by the nolog feature. An attacker can take advantage of this information to steal those credentials, provided they have access to the log files containing them. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.
A few different modules leak sensitive data such as secret values. This could lead in disclosing those credentials for every user which has access to the output of playbook execution.
A flaw was found in ansible module where credentials are disclosed in the console log by default and not protected by the security feature when using the bitbucketpipelinevariable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucketpipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
