high Nessus Plugin ID 266241
Synopsis
The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has ansible-core packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:- 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)
- An absolute path traversal attack exists in the Ansible automation platform. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious Ansible role and make the victim execute the role. A symlink can be used to overwrite a file outside of the extraction path. (CVE-2023-5115)
- 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)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
