CVE-2026-84503
Description
A flaw was found in ansible-core's ansible.builtin.git module. The module invokes git (ls-remote, clone, fetch) with the repository URL as a positional argument and without a "--" separator, so a repository URL that begins with a dash is interpreted by git as a command-line option. A caller that passes an attacker-controlled repository URL to the module can trigger argument injection (for example --upload-pack/--exec), resulting in arbitrary command execution on the host running the module.
