GoogleOSV:GHSA-V735-2PP6-H86RAnsible Logs Passwords If PowerShell ScriptBlock is Enabled
Execution of Ansible playbooks on Windows platforms with PowerShell ScriptBlock logging and Module logging enabled can allow for ‘become’ passwords to appear in EventLogs in plaintext. A local user with administrator privileges on the machine can view these logs and discover the plaintext password. Ansible Engine 2.8 and older are believed to be vulnerable.
