Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in ansible

CVE-2019-10156 / GHSA-grgm-pph5-j5h7

More information

Details

A flaw was discovered in the way Ansible templating was implemented in versions before 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2, causing the possibility of information disclosure through unexpected variable substitution. By taking advantage of unintended variable substitution the content of any variable may be disclosed.

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor and Insecure Temporary File in Ansible

CVE-2020-1740 / GHSA-vcg8-98q8-g7mj

More information

Details

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.

Insufficiently random values in Ansible

CVE-2020-10729 / GHSA-r6h7-5pq2-j77h

More information

Details

A flaw was found in the use of insufficiently random values in Ansible. Two random password lookups of the same length generate the equal value as the template caching action for the same file since no re-evaluation happens. The highest threat from this vulnerability would be that all passwords are exposed at once for the file. This flaw affects Ansible Engine versions before 2.9.6.

Ansible vulnerable to Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere and Insecure Temporary File

CVE-2020-1733 / GHSA-g4mq-6fp5-qwcf

More information

Details

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

"; 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//cmdline'.

Ansible leaks sensitive information to logs when told not to

CVE-2019-14858 / GHSA-h653-95qw-h2mp

More information

Details

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine 2.x up to 2.8 and Ansible tower 3.x up to 3.5. When a module has an argument_spec with sub parameters marked as no_log, passing an invalid parameter name to the module will cause the task to fail before the no_log options in the sub parameters are processed. As a result, data in the sub parameter fields will not be masked and will be displayed if Ansible is run with increased verbosity and present in the module invocation arguments for the task.
