Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1738

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914774

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/52133

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1733

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10206

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1739: A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior, 2.8.8 and prior, and 2.9.5 and prior. When a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1739

Ansible versions 2.7.15, 2.8.7 and 2.9.1 include a fix for CVE-2019-14864: 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, are not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used to send tasks results events to collectors. This would disclose and collect any sensitive data.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-14864

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1735: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.

Pytest-runner depends on deprecated features of setuptools and relies on features that break security mechanisms in pip. For example ‘setup_requires’ and ‘tests_require’ bypass pip --require-hashes. See also pypa/setuptools#1684.
It is recommended that you:
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your setup_requires, preferably removing the setup_requires option.
- Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from tests_require, preferably removing the tests_requires option.
- Select a tool to bootstrap and then run tests such as tox.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Cryptography 3.2 and prior are vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.

Cryptography 3.3.2 includes a fix for CVE-2020-36242: certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.

Cryptography 3.3 no longer allows loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230731.txt

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

Cryptography 41.0.0 updates its dependency 'OpenSSL' to v3.1.1 to include a security fix.

Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1738

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914774

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1733

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10206

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1739: A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior, 2.8.8 and prior, and 2.9.5 and prior. When a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1739

Ansible versions 2.7.15, 2.8.7 and 2.9.1 include a fix for CVE-2019-14864: 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, are not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used to send tasks results events to collectors. This would disclose and collect any sensitive data.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-14864

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1735: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-10684

Pytest-runner depends on deprecated features of setuptools and relies on features that break security mechanisms in pip. For example ‘setup_requires’ and ‘tests_require’ bypass pip --require-hashes. See also pypa/setuptools#1684.
It is recommended that you:
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your setup_requires, preferably removing the setup_requires option.
- Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from tests_require, preferably removing the tests_requires option.
- Select a tool to bootstrap and then run tests such as tox.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Cryptography 3.2 and prior are vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.

Cryptography 3.3.2 includes a fix for CVE-2020-36242: certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.

Cryptography 3.3 no longer allows loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

Cryptography 41.0.0 updates its dependency 'OpenSSL' to v3.1.1 to include a security fix.

Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1738

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914774

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/52133

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1733

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10206

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1739: A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior, 2.8.8 and prior, and 2.9.5 and prior. When a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1739

Ansible versions 2.7.15, 2.8.7 and 2.9.1 include a fix for CVE-2019-14864: 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, are not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used to send tasks results events to collectors. This would disclose and collect any sensitive data.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-14864

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1735: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-10684

Pytest-runner depends on deprecated features of setuptools and relies on features that break security mechanisms in pip. For example ‘setup_requires’ and ‘tests_require’ bypass pip --require-hashes. See also pypa/setuptools#1684.
It is recommended that you:
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your setup_requires, preferably removing the setup_requires option.
- Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from tests_require, preferably removing the tests_requires option.
- Select a tool to bootstrap and then run tests such as tox.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Cryptography 3.2 and prior are vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.

Cryptography 3.3.2 includes a fix for CVE-2020-36242: certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.

Cryptography 3.3 no longer allows loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

Cryptography 41.0.0 updates its dependency 'OpenSSL' to v3.1.1 to include a security fix.

Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/52133

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10206

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1739: A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior, 2.8.8 and prior, and 2.9.5 and prior. When a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1739

Ansible versions 2.7.15, 2.8.7 and 2.9.1 include a fix for CVE-2019-14864: 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, are not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used to send tasks results events to collectors. This would disclose and collect any sensitive data.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-14864

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1735: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-10684

Pytest-runner depends on deprecated features of setuptools and relies on features that break security mechanisms in pip. For example ‘setup_requires’ and ‘tests_require’ bypass pip --require-hashes. See also pypa/setuptools#1684.
It is recommended that you:
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your setup_requires, preferably removing the setup_requires option.
- Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from tests_require, preferably removing the tests_requires option.
- Select a tool to bootstrap and then run tests such as tox.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Cryptography 3.2 and prior are vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.

Cryptography 3.3.2 includes a fix for CVE-2020-36242: certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.

Cryptography 3.3 no longer allows loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230731.txt

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/8229

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

Cryptography 41.0.0 updates its dependency 'OpenSSL' to v3.1.1 to include a security fix.
https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/commit/8708245ccdeaff21d65eea68a4f8d2a7c5949a22

Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Twine 2.0.0 updates requests to 2.20 (or later) to include a security fix.

Wheel 0.38.1 includes a fix for CVE-2022-40898: An issue discovered in Python Packaging Authority (PyPA) Wheel 0.37.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via attacker controlled input to wheel cli.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1738

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914774

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/52133

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1733

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.

Ansible versions 2.7.15, 2.8.7 and 2.9.1 include a fix for CVE-2019-14864: 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, are not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used to send tasks results events to collectors. This would disclose and collect any sensitive data.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-14864

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1735: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.

Pytest-runner depends on deprecated features of setuptools and relies on features that break security mechanisms in pip. For example ‘setup_requires’ and ‘tests_require’ bypass pip --require-hashes. See also pypa/setuptools#1684.
It is recommended that you:
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your setup_requires, preferably removing the setup_requires option.
- Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from tests_require, preferably removing the tests_requires option.
- Select a tool to bootstrap and then run tests such as tox.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Cryptography 3.2 and prior are vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.

Cryptography 3.3.2 includes a fix for CVE-2020-36242: certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.

Cryptography 3.3 no longer allows loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230731.txt

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

Cryptography 41.0.0 updates its dependency 'OpenSSL' to v3.1.1 to include a security fix.

Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Twine 2.0.0 updates requests to 2.20 (or later) to include a security fix.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1738

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914774

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1733

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.

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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.

Pytest-runner depends on deprecated features of setuptools and relies on features that break security mechanisms in pip. For example ‘setup_requires’ and ‘tests_require’ bypass pip --require-hashes. See also pypa/setuptools#1684.
It is recommended that you:
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your setup_requires, preferably removing the setup_requires option.
- Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from tests_require, preferably removing the tests_requires option.
- Select a tool to bootstrap and then run tests such as tox.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Cryptography 3.2 and prior are vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.

Cryptography 3.3.2 includes a fix for CVE-2020-36242: certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.

Cryptography 3.3 no longer allows loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230731.txt

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

Cryptography 41.0.0 updates its dependency 'OpenSSL' to v3.1.1 to include a security fix.

Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Twine 2.0.0 updates requests to 2.20 (or later) to include a security fix.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1738

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914774

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/52133

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1733

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10206

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1739: A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior, 2.8.8 and prior, and 2.9.5 and prior. When a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1735: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.

Pytest-runner depends on deprecated features of setuptools and relies on features that break security mechanisms in pip. For example ‘setup_requires’ and ‘tests_require’ bypass pip --require-hashes. See also pypa/setuptools#1684.
It is recommended that you:
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your setup_requires, preferably removing the setup_requires option.
- Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from tests_require, preferably removing the tests_requires option.
- Select a tool to bootstrap and then run tests such as tox.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Cryptography 3.2 and prior are vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.

Cryptography 3.3.2 includes a fix for CVE-2020-36242: certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.

Cryptography 3.3 no longer allows loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

Cryptography 41.0.0 updates its dependency 'OpenSSL' to v3.1.1 to include a security fix.

Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Twine 2.0.0 updates requests to 2.20 (or later) to include a security fix.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1738

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914774

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/52133

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1733

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10206

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1739: A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior, 2.8.8 and prior, and 2.9.5 and prior. When a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1739

Ansible versions 2.7.15, 2.8.7 and 2.9.1 include a fix for CVE-2019-14864: 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, are not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used to send tasks results events to collectors. This would disclose and collect any sensitive data.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-14864

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1735: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Cryptography 3.2 and prior are vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.

Cryptography 3.3.2 includes a fix for CVE-2020-36242: certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.

Cryptography 3.3 no longer allows loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230731.txt

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

Cryptography 41.0.0 updates its dependency 'OpenSSL' to v3.1.1 to include a security fix.

Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1738

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914774

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/52133

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1733

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10206

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1739: A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior, 2.8.8 and prior, and 2.9.5 and prior. When a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1739

Ansible versions 2.7.15, 2.8.7 and 2.9.1 include a fix for CVE-2019-14864: 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, are not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used to send tasks results events to collectors. This would disclose and collect any sensitive data.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-14864

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1735: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-10684

Pytest-runner depends on deprecated features of setuptools and relies on features that break security mechanisms in pip. For example ‘setup_requires’ and ‘tests_require’ bypass pip --require-hashes. See also pypa/setuptools#1684.
It is recommended that you:
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your setup_requires, preferably removing the setup_requires option.
- Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from tests_require, preferably removing the tests_requires option.
- Select a tool to bootstrap and then run tests such as tox.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

Cryptography 39.0.1 updates its dependency 'OpenSSL' to v3.0.8 to include security fixes.
https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/issues/8229

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

Cryptography 41.0.0 updates its dependency 'OpenSSL' to v3.1.1 to include a security fix.

Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Twine 2.0.0 updates requests to 2.20 (or later) to include a security fix.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1738

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914774

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/52133

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1733

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1739: A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior, 2.8.8 and prior, and 2.9.5 and prior. When a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1739

Ansible versions 2.7.15, 2.8.7 and 2.9.1 include a fix for CVE-2019-14864: 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, are not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used to send tasks results events to collectors. This would disclose and collect any sensitive data.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1735: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-10684

Pytest-runner depends on deprecated features of setuptools and relies on features that break security mechanisms in pip. For example ‘setup_requires’ and ‘tests_require’ bypass pip --require-hashes. See also pypa/setuptools#1684.
It is recommended that you:
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your setup_requires, preferably removing the setup_requires option.
- Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from tests_require, preferably removing the tests_requires option.
- Select a tool to bootstrap and then run tests such as tox.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Cryptography 3.2 and prior are vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.

Cryptography 3.3.2 includes a fix for CVE-2020-36242: certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.

Cryptography 3.3 no longer allows loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1738

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914774

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1733

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1739: A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior, 2.8.8 and prior, and 2.9.5 and prior. When a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1739

Ansible versions 2.7.15, 2.8.7 and 2.9.1 include a fix for CVE-2019-14864: 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, are not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used to send tasks results events to collectors. This would disclose and collect any sensitive data.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-14864

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1735: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.

Pytest-runner depends on deprecated features of setuptools and relies on features that break security mechanisms in pip. For example ‘setup_requires’ and ‘tests_require’ bypass pip --require-hashes. See also pypa/setuptools#1684.
It is recommended that you:
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your setup_requires, preferably removing the setup_requires option.
- Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from tests_require, preferably removing the tests_requires option.
- Select a tool to bootstrap and then run tests such as tox.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Cryptography 3.2 and prior are vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.

Cryptography 3.3.2 includes a fix for CVE-2020-36242: certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.

Cryptography 3.3 no longer allows loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1738

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914774

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1733

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1739: A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior, 2.8.8 and prior, and 2.9.5 and prior. When a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1739

Ansible versions 2.7.15, 2.8.7 and 2.9.1 include a fix for CVE-2019-14864: 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, are not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used to send tasks results events to collectors. This would disclose and collect any sensitive data.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-14864

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1735: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.

Pytest-runner depends on deprecated features of setuptools and relies on features that break security mechanisms in pip. For example ‘setup_requires’ and ‘tests_require’ bypass pip --require-hashes. See also pypa/setuptools#1684.
It is recommended that you:
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your setup_requires, preferably removing the setup_requires option.
- Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from tests_require, preferably removing the tests_requires option.
- Select a tool to bootstrap and then run tests such as tox.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Cryptography 3.2 and prior are vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.

Cryptography 3.3.2 includes a fix for CVE-2020-36242: certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.

Cryptography 3.3 no longer allows loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

Cryptography 41.0.0 updates its dependency 'OpenSSL' to v3.1.1 to include a security fix.

Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1738

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1914774

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/52133

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1733

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10206

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1739: A flaw was found in Ansible 2.7.16 and prior, 2.8.8 and prior, and 2.9.5 and prior. When a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module, it is used on svn command line, disclosing to other users within the same node. An attacker could take advantage by reading the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1739

Ansible versions 2.7.15, 2.8.7 and 2.9.1 include a fix for CVE-2019-14864: 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, are not respecting the flag no_log set it to True when Sumologic and Splunk callback plugins are used to send tasks results events to collectors. This would disclose and collect any sensitive data.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-14864

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1735: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1735

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 flaw was found in the Ansible Engine when using module_args. Tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data exposed in the event data. This flaw allows unauthorized users to read this data. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1736: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-1736

Ansible 2.6.18, 2.7.12 and 2.8.2 include a fix for CVE-2019-10156: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-10156

In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-10684: 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.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2020-10684

Pytest-runner depends on deprecated features of setuptools and relies on features that break security mechanisms in pip. For example ‘setup_requires’ and ‘tests_require’ bypass pip --require-hashes. See also pypa/setuptools#1684.
It is recommended that you:
- Remove 'pytest-runner' from your setup_requires, preferably removing the setup_requires option.
- Remove 'pytest' and any other testing requirements from tests_require, preferably removing the tests_requires option.
- Select a tool to bootstrap and then run tests such as tox.

The cryptography library has updated its OpenSSL dependency in CI due to security concerns. This vulnerability arises when processing maliciously formatted PKCS12 files, which can cause OpenSSL to crash, leading to a potential Denial of Service (DoS) attack. PKCS12 files, often containing certificates and keys, may come from untrusted sources. The PKCS12 specification allows certain fields to be NULL, but OpenSSL does not correctly handle these cases, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and subsequent crash. Applications using OpenSSL APIs, such as PKCS12_parse(), PKCS12_unpack_p7data(), PKCS12_unpack_p7encdata(), PKCS12_unpack_authsafes(), and PKCS12_newpass(), are vulnerable if they process PKCS12 files from untrusted sources. Although a similar issue in SMIME_write_PKCS7() was fixed, it is not considered significant for security as it pertains to data writing. This issue does not affect the FIPS modules in versions 3.2, 3.1, and 3.0.

Cryptography 3.2 and prior are vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.

Cryptography 3.3.2 includes a fix for CVE-2020-36242: certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values could result in an integer overflow and buffer overflow, as demonstrated by the Fernet class.

Cryptography 3.3 no longer allows loading of finite field Diffie-Hellman parameters of less than 512 bits in length. This change is to conform with an upcoming OpenSSL release that no longer supports smaller sizes. These keys were already wildly insecure and should not have been used in any application outside of testing.

Affected versions of Cryptography may allow a remote attacker to decrypt captured messages in TLS servers that use RSA key exchanges, which may lead to exposure of confidential or sensitive data.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to missing prime-order subgroup validation for SECT elliptic-curve points. The public_key_from_numbers, EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key(), load_der_public_key(), and load_pem_public_key() entry points accept attacker-supplied public keys without verifying that the provided point lies in the expected prime-order subgroup, enabling small-subgroup points to pass as valid.

Cryptography 41.0.5 updates Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.1.4, that includes a security fix.

The `cryptography` library has updated its BoringSSL and OpenSSL dependencies in CI due to a security concern. Specifically, the issue involves the functions `EVP_PKEY_param_check()` and `EVP_PKEY_public_check()`, which are used to check DSA public keys or parameters. These functions can experience significant delays when processing excessively long DSA keys or parameters, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) if the input is from an untrusted source. The vulnerability arises because the key and parameter check functions do not limit the modulus size during checks, despite OpenSSL not allowing public keys with a modulus over 10,000 bits for signature verification. This issue affects applications that directly call these functions and the OpenSSL `pkey` and `pkeyparam` command-line applications with the `-check` option. The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not impacted, but the OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers are affected by this vulnerability.

Cryptography 41.0.3  updates its bundled OpenSSL version to include a fix for CVE-2023-2975: AES-SIV implementation ignores empty associated data entries.

Cryptography 39.0.1 includes a fix for CVE-2023-23931: In affected versions 'Cipher.update_into' would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as 'bytes') to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This issue has been present since 'update_into' was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.

Affected versions of the cryptography package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to incomplete enforcement of DNS name constraints on peer names. The certificate validation logic applied DNS name constraints only to Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries in child certificates, but did not apply the same checks to the peer name presented during validation, which allowed a mismatch between wildcard certificate matching and excluded subtree constraints.

Cryptography 41.0.0 updates its dependency 'OpenSSL' to v3.1.1 to include a security fix.

Moto 1.3.7 updates a dependency (cryptography) with a known security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10903).
https://github.com/spulec/moto/issues/1839

An oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment detects calls to str.format allows an attacker who controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to store a reference to a malicious string's format method, then pass that to a filter that calls it. No such filters are built-in to Jinja, but could be present through custom filters in an application. After the fix, such indirect calls are also handled by the sandbox.

Jinja2 2.10.1 adds 'SandboxedEnvironment' to handle 'str.format_map' in order to prevent code execution through untrusted format strings.
https://github.com/pallets/jinja/commit/a2a6c930bcca591a25d2b316fcfd2d6793897b26

Prior to 3.1.6, an oversight in how the Jinja sandboxed environment interacts with the |attr filter allows an attacker that controls the content of a template to execute arbitrary Python code. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker needs to control the content of a template. Whether that is the case depends on the type of application using Jinja. This vulnerability impacts users of applications which execute untrusted templates. Jinja's sandbox does catch calls to str.format and ensures they don't escape the sandbox. However, it's possible to use the |attr filter to get a reference to a string's plain format method, bypassing the sandbox. After the fix, the |attr filter no longer bypasses the environment's attribute lookup. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.1.6.

This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the '_punctuation_re regex' operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. The `xmlattr` filter in affected versions of Jinja accepts keys containing non-attribute characters. XML/HTML attributes cannot contain spaces, `/`, `>`, or `=`, as each would then be interpreted as starting a separate attribute. If an application accepts keys (as opposed to only values) as user input, and renders these in pages that other users see as well, an attacker could use this to inject other attributes and perform XSS. The fix for CVE-2024-22195 only addressed spaces but not other characters. Accepting keys as user input is now explicitly considered an unintended use case of the `xmlattr` filter, and code that does so without otherwise validating the input should be flagged as insecure, regardless of Jinja version. Accepting _values_ as user input continues to be safe.

Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.

Affected versions of the `ansible` package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to insufficient sanitization of sensitive data in log outputs. The vulnerability exists in the `uri` module, where sensitive information such as keys can be inadvertently logged in both content and JSON outputs. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by accessing the logs to obtain sensitive data, compromising the confidentiality of playbooks and potentially exposing private keys used by other users.

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when using modules which decrypts vault files such as assemble, script, unarchive, win_copy, aws_s3 or copy modules. The temporary directory is created in /tmp leaves the s ts unencrypted. On Operating Systems which /tmp is not a tmpfs but part of the root partition, the directory is only cleared on boot and the decryp emains when the host is switched off. The system will be vulnerable when the system is not running. So decrypted data must be cleared as soon as possible and the data which normally is encrypted ble.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as there is no namespace separation for file transfers. Files are written directly to the root bucket, making possible to have collisions when running multiple ansible processes. This issue affects mainly the service availability. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Affected versions of the Ansible package are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to improper redaction of sensitive credential fields in verbose log output. The community.general.keycloak_user module logs the credentials[].value parameter in plaintext when Ansible is executed with high verbosity (for example, -vvv), because this field is not marked with the no_log protection that is applied to other password parameters such as auth_password.

A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine affecting Ansible Engine versions 2.7.x before 2.7.17 and 2.8.x before 2.8.11 and 2.9.x before 2.9.7 as well as Ansible Tower before and including versions 3.4.5 and 3.5.5 and 3.6.3 when the ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules are used. The issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field. The highest threat from this vulnerability is data confidentiality.

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 no_log 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.

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 versions 2.7.17, 2.8.9 and 2.9.6 include a fix for CVE-2020-1738: 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.

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 win_unzip 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.

Ansible 2.9.18 includes a fix for CVE-2021-20178: 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 bitbucket_pipeline_variable module. This flaw allows an attacker to steal bitbucket_pipeline credentials. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible engine and Ansible tower. 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.

A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as garbage collector is not happening after playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue affects directly data confidentiality. This CVE affects community.aws before 1.2.1 and Ansible-build-data ships this dependency on versions before 2.10.5.

Ansible versions 2.7.16, 2.8.8 and 2.9.3 include a fix for CVE-2019-14904: A flaw was found in the solaris_zone module from the Ansible Community modules. When setting the name for the zone on the Solaris host, the zone name is checked by listing the process with the 'ps' bare command on the remote machine. An attacker could take advantage of this flaw by crafting the name of the zone and executing arbitrary commands in the remote host. Ansible Engine 2.7.15, 2.8.7, and 2.9.2 as well as previous versions are affected.

Ansible 2.5.15, 2.6.14 and 2.7.8 include a fix for CVE-2019-3828: Ansible fetch module before versions 2.5.15, 2.6.14, 2.7.8 has a path traversal vulnerability which allows copying and overwriting files outside of the specified destination in the local Ansible controller host by not restricting an absolute path.

Ansible versions 2.7.17, 2.8.11 and 2.9.7 include a fix for CVE-2020-1733: A race condition flaw was found in Ansible Engine 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'.

Affected versions of Ansible are vulnerable to CVE-2019-14856: The fix for CVE-2019-10206 was found to be incomplete for the data disclosure flaw in Ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

A security flaw was found in Ansible Engine, all Ansible 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.17, all Ansible 2.8.x versions prior to 2.8.11 and all Ansible 2.9.x versions prior to 2.9.7, when managing kubernetes using the k8s module. Sensitive parameters such as passwords and tokens are passed to kubectl from the command line, not using an environment variable or an input configuration file. This will disclose passwords and tokens from process list and no_log directive from debug module would not have any effect making these secrets being disclosed on stdout and log files.

A vulnerability was found in Ansible Engine versions 2.9.x before 2.9.3, 2.8.x before 2.8.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.16 and earlier, where in Ansible's nxos_file_copy module can be used to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.

Ansible 2.6.19, 2.7.13 and 2.8.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-10206: Ansible-playbook -k and Ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.
