CVE-2019-14904 Ansible: vulnerability in solaris_zone module via crafted solaris zone
Vulnerability in solaris_zone from Ansible modules accepts the zone name to perform actions related to zones. However, while running these actions on the system, solaris_zone module check the status of the zone by executing a os.system() call and using the zone name as a parameter. A malicious user could provide a crafted zone name which allows executing commands into the server manipulating the module behaviour.
