CVE-2014-4966
Published: 18 February 2020
Ansible before 1.6.7 does not prevent inventory data with "{{" and "lookup" substrings, and does not prevent remote data with "{{" substrings, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) crafted lookup('pipe') calls or (2) crafted Jinja2 data.
From the Ubuntu Security Team
It was discovered that Ansible mishandled certain input. A remote attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code.
