NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ansible-core package and not the ansible-core package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Ansible, where sensitive information stored in Ansible Vault files can be exposed in plaintext during the execution of a playbook. This occurs when using tasks such as include_vars to load vaulted variables without setting the no_log: true parameter, resulting in sensitive data being printed in the playbook output or logs. This can lead to the unintentional disclosure of secrets like passwords or API keys, compromising security and potentially allowing unauthorized access or actions.
