The function uses two regular\n expressions to reject user-supplied Jinja, but the patterns\n stop at the first interior '}' or '%' character, so a Jinja\n expression containing an inner brace (for example an empty\n dict) is accepted while remaining valid Jinja. Because\n sanitize_jinja() is the sole guard on several launch-time\n fields — ad-hoc command module_args, Machine-credential\n username / become_method / become_user, and inventory host\n names — a low-privileged user can inject Jinja that ansible-core\n evaluates in the execution environment. This enables execution\n of arbitrary commands in the execution environment (bypassing an\n administrator's AD_HOC_COMMANDS module allowlist) and disclosure\n of secrets belonging to credentials the attacker cannot read\n (by templating a co-attached credential's injected environment\n variables), across the credential access-control boundary." } ], "affected": [ { "vendor": "Red Hat", "product":
