Descriptions

A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the tower_callback parameter from the amazon.aws.ec2_instance module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.

Se encontró una falla en Ansible en la colección amazon.aws al usar el parámetro tower_callback del módulo amazon.aws.ec2_instance. Esta falla permite que un atacante aproveche este problema ya que el módulo maneja el parámetro de manera insegura, lo que provoca que la contraseña se filtre en los registros.

It was discovered that Ansible incorrectly handled certain inputs when using tower_callback parameter. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.
