Hi, The following vulnerability was published for ansible-core. CVE-2026-16493[0]: | A flaw was found in ansible-core. The _extract_collection_from_git() | function in ansible-core's concrete_artifact_manager.py constructs | git clone commands without a '--' (end-of-options) separator before | user-supplied URLs when installing collections from git sources. An | attacker who provides a crafted collection source URI containing git | argument injection payloads can achieve arbitrary command execution | when a user runs 'ansible-galaxy collection install' with the | malicious source. This is an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-11332, | which hardened the role install path but missed the equivalent | collection install code path. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2503724 Issue exists due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-11332 If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
