Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6 Product Security and Bug Fix Update

Important

A flaw was found in lodash. The fix for CVE-2021-23337 added validation for the variable option in _.template but did not apply the same validation to options.imports key names. Both paths flow into the same Function() constructor sink. Additionally, _.template uses assignInWith to merge imports, which enumerates inherited properties via for..in. If Object.prototype has been polluted by any other vector, the polluted keys are copied into the imports object and passed to Function().

CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

A flaw was found in path-to-regexp. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted input that generates a regular expression with multiple sequential optional groups. This leads to an exponential growth in the generated regular expression, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) due to excessive resource consumption.

CWE-1333 - Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

A flaw was found in Pallets Click. This command injection vulnerability, located in the click.edit() function, allows an attacker with an unprivileged account to execute arbitrary operating system (OS) commands. This could lead to unauthorized control over the affected system.

CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

An unbounded recursion flaw has been discovered in the pypi pyasn1 library. This uncontrolled recursion occurs when decoding ASN.1 data with deeply nested structures. An attacker can supply a crafted payload containing nested SEQUENCE (0x30) or SET (0x31) tags with Indefinite Length (0x80) markers. This forces the decoder to recursively call itself until the Python interpreter crashes with a RecursionError or consumes all available memory (OOM), crashing the host application.

CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
