The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has ansible-core packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An information disclosure flaw was found in ansible-core due to a failure to respect the ANSIBLE_NO_LOG     configuration in some scenarios. Information is still included in the output in certain tasks, such as     loop items. Depending on the task, this issue may include sensitive information, such as decrypted secret     values. (CVE-2024-0690)

  - A flaw was found in Ansible-Core. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass unsafe content protections     using the hostvars object to reference and execute templated content. This issue can lead to arbitrary     code execution if remote data or module outputs are improperly templated within playbooks.
    (CVE-2024-11079)

  - A flaw was found in Ansible, where sensitive information stored in Ansible Vault files can be exposed in     plaintext during the execution of a playbook. This occurs when using tasks such as include_vars to load     vaulted variables without setting the no_log: true parameter, resulting in sensitive data being printed in     the playbook output or logs. This can lead to the unintentional disclosure of secrets like passwords or     API keys, compromising security and potentially allowing unauthorized access or actions. (CVE-2024-8775)

  - A flaw was found in Ansible. The ansible-core `user` module can allow an unprivileged user to silently     create or replace the contents of any file on any system path and take ownership of it when a privileged     user executes the `user` module against the unprivileged user's home directory. If the unprivileged user     has traversal permissions on the directory containing the exploited target file, they retain full control     over the contents of the file as its owner. (CVE-2024-9902)

  - A flaw was found in Ansible before version 2.2.0. The apt_key module does not properly verify key     fingerprints, allowing remote adversary to create an OpenPGP key which matches the short key ID and inject     this key instead of the correct key. (CVE-2016-8614)

  - Ansible before version 2.2.0 fails to properly sanitize fact variables sent from the Ansible controller.
    An attacker with the ability to create special variables on the controller could execute arbitrary     commands on Ansible clients as the user Ansible runs as. (CVE-2016-8628)

  - An input validation vulnerability was found in Ansible's mysql_user module before 2.2.1.0, which may fail     to correctly change a password in certain circumstances. Thus the previous password would still be active     when it should have been changed. (CVE-2016-8647)

  - Ansible before versions 2.1.4, 2.2.1 is vulnerable to an improper input validation in Ansible's handling     of data sent from client systems. An attacker with control over a client system being managed by Ansible     and the ability to send facts back to the Ansible server could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on     the Ansible server using the Ansible server privileges. (CVE-2016-9587)

  - A flaw was found in the way Ansible (2.3.x before 2.3.3, and 2.4.x before 2.4.1) passed certain parameters     to the jenkins_plugin module. Remote attackers could use this flaw to expose sensitive information from a     remote host's logs.

  - An Improper Output Neutralization for Logs flaw was found in Ansible when using the uri module, where     sensitive data is exposed to content and json output. This flaw allows an attacker to access the logs or     outputs of performed tasks to read keys used in playbooks from other users within the uri module. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality. (CVE-2020-14330)

  - 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.
    (CVE-2020-14332)

  - A flaw was found in the Ansible Engine, in ansible-engine 2.8.x before 2.8.15 and ansible-engine 2.9.x     before 2.9.13, when installing packages using the dnf module. GPG signatures are ignored during     installation even when disable_gpg_check is set to False, which is the default behavior. This flaw leads     to malicious packages being installed on the system and arbitrary code executed via package installation     scripts. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity and system availability.
    (CVE-2020-14365)

  - 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. (CVE-2020-1753)

  - A template injection flaw was found in Ansible where a user's controller internal templating operations     may remove the unsafe designation from template data. This issue could allow an attacker to use a     specially crafted file to introduce templating injection when supplying templating data. (CVE-2023-5764)

  - A user changing their email after signing up and verifying it can change it without verification in     profile settings. The configuration option verify_email_enabled will only validate email only on sign     up. (CVE-2023-6152)

  - An information disclosure flaw was found in ansible-core due to a failure to respect the ANSIBLE_NO_LOG     configuration in some scenarios. Information is still included in the output in certain tasks, such as     loop items. Depending on the task, this issue may include sensitive information, such as decrypted secret     values. (CVE-2024-0690)

  - It is possible for a user in a different organization from the owner of a snapshot to bypass authorization     and delete a snapshot by issuing a DELETE request to /api/snapshots/<key> using its view key. This     functionality is intended to only be available to individuals with the permission to write/edit to the     snapshot in question, but due to a bug in the authorization logic, deletion requests issued by an     unprivileged user in a different organization than the snapshot owner are treated as authorized. Grafana     Labs would like to thank Ravid Mazon and Jay Chen of Palo Alto Research for discovering and disclosing     this vulnerability. This issue affects Grafana: from 9.5.0 before 9.5.18, from 10.0.0 before 10.0.13, from     10.1.0 before 10.1.9, from 10.2.0 before 10.2.6, from 10.3.0 before 10.3.5. (CVE-2024-1313)
