1) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU29564
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 2.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1739
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to password being exposed to local users when a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module. A local user can read the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs and obtain the password.

4) Code Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU29017
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10684
CWE-ID:
CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when using "ansible_facts" as a subkey of itself and promoting it to a variable when inject is enabled, overwriting the "ansible_facts" after the clean. A local user can alter the "ansible_facts", such as "ansible_hosts", "users" and any other key data which would lead into privilege escalation or code injection
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14904
CWE-ID:
CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing zone names within the solaris_zone module. A remote uuser can provide a specially crafted zone name as a parameter to the os.system() call and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.
