  "title": "Ansible-core: argument injection in ansible-galaxy collection install via git clone (incomplete fix for cve-2026-11332)",
  "description": "A flaw was found in ansible-core. The _extract_collection_from_git() function in ansible-core\u0027s concrete_artifact_manager.py constructs git clone commands without a \u0027--\u0027 (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 \u0027ansible-galaxy collection install\u0027 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.",
