CVE-2026-11837

Ansible-collection-ansible-posix: ansible.posix authorized_key: local privilege escalation via symlink-following chown

CVSS 7.3 HIGHEPSS 0.1%CWE-59
A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found in the ansible.posix authorized_key module. The module's keyfile() function uses os.chown() instead of os.lchown() and opens files without O_NOFOLLOW when managing SSH authorized keys. An unprivileged local user can pre-stage symbolic links in their ~/.ssh directory to redirect file ownership changes to arbitrary system paths when an operator runs the authorized_key task as root, leading to local privilege escalation.
