How to fix?
Upgrade Alpine:3.12 ansible to version 2.9.13-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ansible package and not the ansible package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.12 relevant fixed versions and status.
In Ansible, all Ansible Engine versions up to ansible-engine 2.8.5, ansible-engine 2.7.13, ansible-engine 2.6.19, were 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.
