  "details" : [ "A flaw was found in openshift-ansible. The installer container's `run` script downloads and executes remote inventory and dynamic scripts without integrity verification. A remote attacker, by performing a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack or compromising the HTTP server providing these scripts, could substitute an arbitrary executable. This malicious executable would then run with the installer's user ID (UID) and full cluster-provisioning privileges, leading to arbitrary code execution.", "A flaw was found in openshift-ansible.

  "statement" : "This vulnerability is rated as Important severity because successful exploitation allows arbitrary script execution with cluster installer privileges, though an attacker requires a privileged network position (such as a Man-in-the-Middle) or a compromised remote script server to intercept the transfer. The risk is limited to installations that actively configure remote inventory sources via environment variables. Standard environments utilizing locally supplied inventory definitions or operating in isolated networks do not trigger the dynamic remote retrieval mechanism.",

If possible, avoid using remote inventory scripts and instead provide local inventory files to the installer.",
