Workarounds

To mitigate this vulnerability, avoid using the hostvars object to reference content marked as !unsafe. Ensure that all remote data from modules or lookups is properly sanitized and validated before use in playbooks. Additionally, restrict access to inventory files and Ansible playbooks to trusted users to minimize exploitation risks.
