What is CVE-2026-11332?

A vulnerability has been identified in Ansible-Core, where the ansible-galaxy role install command incorrectly processes dependency specifications from a role's meta/requirements.yml file. This flaw arises from the improper handling of argument delimiters, which allows a malicious role author to inject arbitrary git configuration flags via the src field. As a result, this could lead to arbitrary code execution on the machine of any user who installs the compromised role through ansible-galaxy role install.
