Upgrade ansible to version 2.8.20, 2.9.20 or higher.
Overview
ansible is a simple IT automation system.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. In several modules parameters containing credentials are being logged in plain-text on managed nodes, as well as being made visible on the controller node when run in verbose mode. These parameters were not protected by the no_log feature. An attacker can take advantage of this information to steal those credentials, provided they have access to the log files containing them.
