It turns out that the fix was incomplete:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/5429b85b9f6c2e640074176f36ff0
Upstream announcement:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=msg/ansible-announce/ieV1vZvcTXU/5Q93ThkY9rIJ
I think this warrants a separate CVE ID. There is some debate whether
this actually crosses a security boundary, but upstream thinks it does,
after some consideration.
Note that the subsequent commit looks extremely suspicious as far as the
sandboxing is concerned:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/35368e531b36c800ff6e61fc79fcd9
I'll try to figure out what's going on.
