| PyPI | ansible-runner | >= 2.0.0, < 2.1.0 | 2.1.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
A race condition flaw was found in ansible-runner, where an attacker could watch for rapid creation and deletion of a temporary directory, substitute their directory at that name, and then have access to ansible-runner's private_data_dir the next time ansible-runner made use of the private_data_dir. The highest Threat out of this flaw is to integrity and confidentiality.
