Recommended response

  1. 1Check inventory. Check lockfiles and deployed manifests for ansible-core, Red Hat/rhelai1/bootc-azure-nvidia-rhel9, Red Hat/rhelai1/bootc-nvidia-rhel9.
  2. 2Review the reported fix. Source-reported workaround: To mitigate this vulnerability, avoid using the hostvars object to reference content marked as !unsafe. Ensure that all remote data from modules or lookups is properly sanitized and validated before use in playbooks. Additionally, restrict access to inventory files and Ansible playbooks to trusted users to minimize exploitation risks.

Upstream source description

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.
