PYSEC-2020-201 — ansible: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'ansible>=1.5.5'

Details

Ansible before 1.5.5 sets 0644 permissions for sources.list, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive credential information in opportunistic circumstances by reading a file that uses the "deb http://user:pass@server:port/" format.
