Overview

ansible-core is an a radically simple IT automation system. It handles configuration management, application deployment, cloud provisioning, ad-hoc task execution, network automation, and multi-node orchestration. Ansible makes complex changes like zero-downtime rolling updates with load balancers easy.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Output Neutralization for Logs due to a failure to respect the ANSIBLE_NO_LOG configuration in some scenarios. This could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information, such as decrypted secret values from the output of certain tasks, like loop items.
