How to fix?

Upgrade ansible to version 2.5.5 or higher.

Overview

ansible is a radically simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. If nodes become offline during the build, the no_log attribute of a task got ignored. If the unreachable error occurred in a task used with a loop variable, the contents of the loop items would be printed in the console. This could lead to accidentally leaking credentials or secrets.
