high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444812

Description

 - A 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. (CVE-2026-11332)

Update the ansible-core library and its related packages to version 2.16.19rc1 or later.
