RoutineCVE-2026-44188ubuntu · ansible +2 more4mo agoAnsible-lightspeed: ansible lightspeed: session hijacking and unauthorized data access due to insufficient session expirationA flaw was found in Ansible Lightspeed. This vulnerability, related to insufficient session expiration, allows a remote attacker to maintain persistent access to the Ansible Lightspeed instance. If an attacker exfiltrates a valid OAuth (Open Authorization) access token before a user logs out, they can continue to authenticate and access sensitive data. This is because the application fails to invalidate the token on the backend, leaving it valid until its natural expiration. This can lead to unauthorized read access to Ansible resources such as inventories, playbooks, and configuration data.CVSS5.3MediumEPSS0.29%

RoutineCVE-2026-11837debian · ansible +5 more4mo agoAnsible-collection-ansible-posix: ansible.posix authorized_key: local privilege escalation via symlink-following chownA local privilege escalation vulnerability was found in the ansible.posix authorized_key module. The module's keyfile() function uses os.chown() instead of os.lchown() and opens files without O_NOFOLLOW when managing SSH authorized keys. An unprivileged local user can pre-stage symbolic links in their ~/.ssh directory to redirect file ownership changes to arbitrary system paths when an operator runs the authorized_key task as root, leading to local privilege escalation.CVSS7.3HighEPSS0.16%

RoutineCVE-2026-11332debian · ansible +19 more5mo agoAnsible-core: argument injection in ansible-galaxy role install leads to arbitrary code executionA flaw was found in ansible-core. The ansible-galaxy role install command processes dependency specifications from a role's meta/requirements.yml file. Due to improper neutralization of argument delimiters, a malicious role author can inject arbitrary git configuration flags through the src field. This allows arbitrary code execution on the machine of a user who installs the role via ansible-galaxy role install.CVSS7.8HighEPSS0.22%

RoutineCVE-2025-14010ansible-collections · ansible community general collection +5 more11mo agoAnsible-collection-community-general: ansible-collection-community-general: keycloak user module leaks credentials in verbose outputA flaw was found in ansible-collection-community-general. This vulnerability allows for information exposure (IE) of sensitive credentials, specifically plaintext passwords, via verbose output when running Ansible with debug modes. Attackers with access to logs could retrieve these secrets and potentially compromise Keycloak accounts or administrative access.CVSS5.5MediumEPSS0.19%
