Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20178)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the snmp_facts module in Ansible discloses 'authkey' and 'privkey' credentials. A local user with access to the output of playbook execution can obtain SNMP credentials.
2) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20180)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the bitbucket_pipeline_variable module in ansible-collection discloses by default credentials in the console log. A local user can obtain bitbucket_pipeline credentials.
3) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20191)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to software stores sensitive information into log files. A local user can read the log files and gain access to sensitive data.
4) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20228)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to software stores sensitive information into log files in the Ansible Engine|. A local user can read the log files and gain access to sensitive data.
5) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3447)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to software stores sensitive information into log files. A flaw was found in several ansible modules, where parameters containing credentials, such as secrets, were being logged in plain-text on managed nodes, as well as being made visible on the controller node when run in verbose mode. These parameters were not protected by the no_log feature. A local user can read the log files and gain access to sensitive data.
6) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3583)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing yaml multi-line strings with ansible facts in templates. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted yaml template and execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
7) Information Exposure Through an Error Message (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3620)
