How to fix?

Upgrade ansible to version 2.8.4 or higher.

Overview

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. Fields managing sensitive data should be set as such by no_log feature. Some of these fields in GCP modules are not set properly. service_account_contents() which is a common class for all gcp modules does not set no_log to True. Any sensitive data managed by that function would be leak as an output when running ansible playbooks.
