CVE-2014-4660: Red Hat Ansible

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Ansible before 1.5.5 constructs filenames containing user and password fields on the basis of deb lines in sources.list, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive credential information in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging existence of a file that uses the "deb http://user:pass@server:port/" format.

Affected products

• Red Hat Ansible: before 1.5.5 (fixed in 1.5.5)
