Doc Text:
A flaw was found in ansible. When a module has an argument_spec with sub parameters marked as no_log, passing an invalid parameter name to the module will cause the task to fail before the no_log options in the sub parameters are processed. As a result, data in the sub parameter fields will not be masked and will be displayed if Ansible is run with increased verbosity and present in the module invocation arguments for the task.

Description Borja Tarraso 2019-10-10 21:45:05 UTC
When a module has an argument_spec with sub parameters marked as no_log, passing an invalid parameter name to the module will cause the task to fail before the no_log options in the sub parameters are processed. As a result, data in the sub parameter fields will not be masked and will be displayed if Ansible is run with increased verbosity and present in the module invocation arguments for the task.

Do you have an upstream reference on this issue?

Comment 6 Toshio Kuratomi 2019-10-14 15:53:29 UTC
Upstream fix is: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/63405

Note that the code has changed quite a bit here so some of the backprots will be very different looking.

Comment 23 Eric Christensen 2020-03-17 18:54:43 UTC
Statement:

Fixes for Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) have been set to 'Moderate' because flaw exploitation requires running Ansible with increased verbosity which is not the RHOSP deployment default.

Red Hat Gluster Storage no longer maintains its own version of Ansible. The fix will be provided from core Ansible.

Comment 28 Yadnyawalk Tale 2020-04-22 10:22:36 UTC
Red Hat CloudForms 5.10 (4.7) and 5.11 (5.0) do not ship `ansible` package, it is provided by the official Ansible repository.
