Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to perform OS command injections. This could result in a loss of confidentiality of the system among other issues.","published":"2020-03-31T17:15:26.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:19:18.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"secalert@redhat.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.6,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L"},"cwe":["CWE-20","CWE-73","CWE-668"],"affected":["redhat/ansible engine","redhat/ansible tower","redhat/ceph storage","redhat/cloudforms management engine","redhat/openstack","fedoraproject/fedora","opensuse/backports sle","opensuse/leap"],"epss":{"score":0.00713,"percentile":0.53441,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.71%).
