5.2 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:LCVE-2020-10691
Medium (5.2) in redhat. EPSS 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in ansible 2.9.7.
An archive traversal flaw was found in all ansible-engine versions 2.9.x prior to 2.9.7, when running ansible-galaxy collection install. When extracting a collection .tar.gz file, the directory is created without sanitizing the filename. An attacker could take advantage to overwrite any file within the system.
