Descriptions

A flaw was found in the way Ansible (2.3.x before 2.3.3, and 2.4.x before 2.4.1) passed certain parameters to the jenkins_plugin module. Remote attackers could use this flaw to expose sensitive information from a remote host's logs. This flaw was fixed by not allowing passwords to be specified in the "params" argument, and noting this in the module documentation.

Se encontró un fallo en la manera en la que Ansible (en versiones 2.3.x anteriores a la 2.3.3 y versiones 2.4.x anteriores a la 2.4.1) pasaba algunos parámetros al módulo jenkins_plugin. Los atacantes remotos podrían utilizar este fallo para exponer información sensible de los logs de un host remoto. Este fallo se solucionó no permitiendo que se especifiquen las contraseñas en el argumento "params" y anotando esto en la documentación del módulo.
