CVE-2019-10217

Se encontró un fallo en ansible versiones 2.8.0 anteriores a 2.8.4. Los campos que administran datos confidenciales deben ser establecidos como tales por la funcionalidad no_log. Algunos de estos campos en los módulos GCP no están configurados apropiadamente. La función service_account_contents(), que es una clase común para todos los módulos gcp, no establece no_log en True. Cualquier dato confidencial administrado por esa función se filtraría como salida al ejecutar playbooks de ansible.

A flaw was found in the gcp module of ansible. Certain fields managing sensitive data should be marked by the no_log feature. The service_account_contents(), which is common class for all gcp modules, is not being set as no_log to True. Any sensitive data managed by that function would be leaked as an output when running ansible playbooks. Data confidentiality is the highest threat with this vulnerability.

Ansible is a simple model-driven configuration management, multi-node deployment, and remote-task execution system. Ansible works over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed on remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and are transferred to managed machines automatically. A data disclosure vulnerability was addressed.
