Low (3.9) in redhat. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in ansible 2.7.17, 2.8.9, 2.9.6.
A flaw was found in Ansible Engine when the module package or service is used and the parameter 'use' is not specified. If a previous task is executed with a malicious user, the module sent can be selected by the attacker using the ansible facts file. All versions in 2.7.x, 2.8.x and 2.9.x branches are believed to be vulnerable.
