4) Incorrect authorization
EUVDB-ID: #VU100998
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9902
CWE-ID:
CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to an error within the ansible-core `user` module. A local user can 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.
