CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 ansible to version 1.5.5+dfsg-1 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 Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

The vault subsystem in Ansible before 1.5.5 does not set the umask before creation or modification of a vault file, which allows local users to obtain sensitive key information by reading a file.
