2.8.4- Upgrade ansible to this version or later
Description
A flaw was found in ansible 2.8.0 before 2.8.4. Fields managing sensitive data should be set as such by no_log feature. Some of these fields in GCP modules are not set properly. service_account_contents() which is common class for all gcp modules is not setting no_log to True. Any sensitive data managed by that function would be leak as an output when running ansible playbooks.
Affected versions
PyPI
| Package | Vulnerable | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| ansible | >= 2.8.0, < 2.8.4 |
2.8.4 |
How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
ansible PyPI → 2.8.4
- pip
pip install --upgrade "ansible>=2.8.4"- poetry
poetry add "ansible>=2.8.4"- uv
uv add "ansible>=2.8.4"
