Vulnerability identifier: #VU33354
Vulnerability risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID:
CWE-ID:
CWE-532
Exploitation vector: Local
Exploit availability: No
Description
The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code.
Ansible, all ansible_engine-2.x versions and ansible_engine-3.x up to ansible_engine-3.5, was logging at the DEBUG level which lead to a disclosure of credentials if a plugin used a library that logged credentials at the DEBUG level. This flaw does not affect Ansible modules, as those are executed in a separate process.
Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
