CVE-2024-9902
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A flaw was found in Ansible. The ansible-core `user` module can allow an unprivileged user to silently create or replace the contents of any file on any system path and take ownership of it when a privileged user executes the `user` module against the unprivileged user's home directory. If the unprivileged user has traversal permissions on the directory containing the exploited target file, they retain full control over the contents of the file as its owner.

El módulo `user` de ansible-core puede permitir que un usuario sin privilegios cree o reemplace silenciosamente el contenido de cualquier archivo en cualquier ruta del sistema y tome posesión de él cuando un usuario privilegiado ejecuta el módulo `user` en el directorio de inicio del usuario sin privilegios. Si el usuario sin privilegios tiene permisos de navegación en el directorio que contiene el archivo de destino explotado, conserva el control total sobre el contenido del archivo como su propietario."
