RHEL 10 : ansible-core (RHSA-2026:57148)

high Nessus Plugin ID 338171

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for ansible-core.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2026:57148 advisory.

 Ansible is a radically simple model-driven configuration management, multi-node deployment, and remote task execution system. Ansible works over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed on remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and are transferred to managed machines automatically.

 Security Fix(es):

 * ansible-core: argument injection in ansible-galaxy role install leads to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2026-11332)

 For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL ansible-core package based on the guidance in RHSA-2026:57148.
