Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
An information disclosure flaw was found in ansible-core due to a failure to respect the ANSIBLE_NO_LOG configuration in some scenarios. Information is still included in the output in certain tasks, such as loop items. Depending on the task, this issue may include sensitive information, such as decrypted secret values.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Recommended fix High confidence

Ansible core 2.14.4, 2.15.9, or 2.16.3 (depending on your current major version branch)

  1. Check your current Ansible version by running 'ansible --version' or 'ansible-core --version'
  2. For Ansible 2.14.x: Upgrade to ansible-core 2.14.4 or later (e.g., pip install --upgrade 'ansible-core==2.14.4')
  3. For Ansible 2.15.x: Upgrade to ansible-core 2.15.9 or later (e.g., pip install --upgrade 'ansible-core==2.15.9')
  4. For Ansible 2.16.x: Upgrade to ansible-core 2.16.3 or later (e.g., pip install --upgrade 'ansible-core==2.16.3')
  5. For RHEL/Fedora systems: Update via system package manager (e.g., 'dnf update ansible' or 'dnf update ansible-core')
  6. For Ansible Automation Platform: Update to version 2.4 which contains the fix
  7. Verify the fix by confirming ANSIBLE_NO_LOG is now respected in loop items and other scenarios
  8. Test that sensitive information is no longer exposed in task output when ANSIBLE_NO_LOG is set to True
