How to fix?

Upgrade ansible to version 2.6.20, 2.7.14, 2.8.6 or higher.

Overview

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When a module has an argument_spec with sub parameters marked as no_log, passing an invalid parameter to the module will cause the task to fail before the no_log configuration is processed, which may lead to the data being displayed.
