Overview

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. A flaw was found in ldap_attr and ldap_entry community modules for Ansbile. This issue discloses the LDAP bind password to stdout or a log file if a playbook task is written using the bind_pw in the parameters field since nothing in the params field is evaluated for sensitive data.
