Overview
ansible is a simple IT automation system.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. Filenames in the nxos_file_copy module are used to perform actions to copy files to a flash or bootflash on NXOS devices. nxos_file_copy uses the remote_file parameter to determine the files destination. Malicious code could craft the filename parameter to take advantage of this by performing an OS command injection.
