FAUCET Score

CVE-2020-25636 is a flaw in Ansible Base, specifically within the aws_ssm connection plugin, where file transfers lack namespace separation and are written directly to the root bucket. This can lead to file collisions when multiple Ansible processes run concurrently, primarily impacting service availability. With a CVSS score of 7.1 (High), the vulnerability has a local attack vector and low attack complexity, potentially leading to high integrity and availability impacts. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
