CVE-2024-9902 is an incorrect-authorization vulnerability in the ansible-core user module. When a privileged user runs the module against an unprivileged user's home directory, the unprivileged user can silently create or replace the contents of files at arbitrary system paths and become their owner. The unprivileged user retains control of a targeted file when they have traversal permission on the directory containing it.
