Description Christopher Fore 2023-12-14 14:39:25 UTC

CVE-2023-5764 (https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7773):

A template injection flaw was found in Ansible where a user's controller internal templating operations may remove the unsafe designation from template data. This issue could allow an attacker to use a specially crafted file to introduce code injection when supplying templating data.

It's hard to tell what versions as they aren't stated by the PR that fixes this on the GitHub is before the latest release on PyPi for 2.16.2 and the RHSA says 2.15.8 is bumped.

Seems like 2.14.12, 2.15.7, and 2.16.1 have the fix:
