Descriptions

ansible-playbook -k and ansible cli tools, all versions 2.8.x before 2.8.4, all 2.7.x before 2.7.13 and all 2.6.x before 2.6.19, prompt passwords by expanding them from templates as they could contain special characters. Passwords should be wrapped to prevent templates trigger and exposing them.

ansible-playbook -k y ansible cli tools, todas las versiones 2.8.x anteriores a 2.8.4, todas las 2.7.x anteriores a 2.7.13 y todas las 2.6.x anteriores a 2.6.19, solicitan contraseñas mediante expansión de plantillas, ya que podrían contener caracteres especiales. Las contraseñas deberán ser empaquetadas para evitar que las plantillas se activen y las expongan.

A data disclosure flaw was found in ansible. Password prompts in ansible-playbook and ansible-cli tools could expose passwords with special characters as they are not properly wrapped. A password with special characters is exposed starting with the first of these special characters. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.
