MEDIUM 6.3EPSS 0.86%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.86%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An absolute path traversal attack exists in the Ansible automation platform. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious Ansible role and make the victim execute the role. A symlink can be used to overwrite a file outside of the extraction path.
