high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 403514

Description

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

- 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. (CVE-2020-1737)

- 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. (CVE-2020-1739)
