The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 / 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:0781 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform integrates Red Hat's automation suite consisting of Red Hat Ansible     Tower, Red Hat Ansible Engine, Automation Hub and use-case specific capabilities for Microsoft Windows,     network, security, and more, along with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based capabilities and features for     organization-wide effectiveness.

    This update fixes various bugs and adds enhancements. Documentation for     these changes is available from the Release Notes document linked to in the     References section.

    Security Fix(es):

    * node-notifier: nodejs-node-notifier: command injection due to the options params not being sanitised     when being passed an array (CVE-2020-7789)
    * nodejs-ajv: prototype pollution via crafted JSON schema in ajv.validate function (CVE-2020-15366)
    * django: Potential directory-traversal via archive.extract() (CVE-2021-3281)
    * python-pygments: infinite loop in SML lexer may lead to DoS (CVE-2021-20270)

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - In Django 2.2 before 2.2.18, 3.0 before 3.0.12, and 3.1 before 3.1.6, the django.utils.archive.extract
    method (used by "startapp --template" and "startproject --template") allows directory traversal via an
    archive with absolute paths or relative paths with dot segments. (CVE-2021-3281)

  - The package python/cpython from 0 and before 3.6.13, from 3.7.0 and before 3.7.10, from 3.8.0 and before
    3.8.8, from 3.9.0 and before 3.9.2 are vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning via urllib.parse.parse_qsl and
    urllib.parse.parse_qs by using a vector called parameter cloaking. When the attacker can separate query
    parameters using a semicolon (;), they can cause a difference in the interpretation of the request between
    the proxy (running with default configuration) and the server. This can result in malicious requests being
    cached as completely safe ones, as the proxy would usually not see the semicolon as a separator, and
    therefore would not include it in a cache key of an unkeyed parameter. (CVE-2021-23336)

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3164 advisory.

    Package        : python-django     Version        : 1:1.11.29-1+deb10u2     CVE IDs        : CVE-2020-24583 CVE-2020-24584 CVE-2021-3281                      CVE-2021-23336 CVE-2022-34265     Debian Bugs    : 969367 981562 983090 1014541

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, a popular     Python-based web development framework:

     * CVE-2020-24583: Fix incorrect permissions on intermediate-level        directories on Python 3.7+. FILE_UPLOAD_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS mode        was not applied to intermediate-level directories created in the        process of uploading files and to intermediate-level collected        static directories when using the collectstatic management        command. You should review and manually fix permissions on        existing intermediate-level directories.

     * CVE-2020-24584: Correct permission escalation vulnerability in        intermediate-level directories of the file system cache. On Python        3.7 and above, the intermediate-level directories of the file        system cache had the system's standard umask rather than 0o077 (no        group or others permissions).

     * CVE-2021-3281: Fix a potential directory-traversal exploit via        archive.extract(). The django.utils.archive.extract() function,        used by startapp --template and startproject --template, allowed        directory traversal via an archive with absolute paths or relative        paths with dot segments.

     * CVE-2021-23336: Prevent a web cache poisoning attack via parameter        cloaking. Django contains a copy of urllib.parse.parse_qsl()        which was added to backport some security fixes. A further        security fix has been issued recently such that parse_qsl() no        longer allows using ; as a query parameter separator by default.

     * CVE-2022-34265: The Trunc() and Extract() database functions were        subject to a potential SQL injection attach if untrusted data was        used as a value for the kind or lookup_name parameters.
       Applications that constrain the choice to a known safe list were        unaffected.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     1:1.11.29-1+deb10u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.
