CVSS 3.1
9.8 criticalCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2014-4657
Critical (9.8) in redhat ansible. EPSS 4.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in ansible 1.5.4.
The safe_eval function in Ansible before 1.5.4 does not properly restrict the code subset, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted instructions.
