Overview

ansible is a simple IT automation system.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When using module_args, tasks executed with check mode (--check-mode) do not properly neutralize sensitive data which would be exposed in the event data. Unauthorized users would be able to read this data.
