Quick fix

PYSEC-2020-10 — ansible: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'ansible>=2.7.17'

Details

A flaw was found in Ansible Engine when the module package or service is used and the parameter 'use' is not specified. If a previous task is executed with a malicious user, the module sent can be selected by the attacker using the ansible facts file. All versions in 2.7.x, 2.8.x and 2.9.x branches are believed to be vulnerable.
