Until a fix is available, avoid running Ansible with verbose debug modes in environments where log access is not strictly controlled. Restrict access to logs containing debug output to trusted personnel only. Monitor vendor advisories for updates or official patches addressing this vulnerability.
Description
A flaw was found in ansible-collection-community-general. This vulnerability allows for information exposure (IE) of sensitive credentials, specifically plaintext passwords, via verbose output when running Ansible with debug modes. Attackers with access to logs could retrieve these secrets and potentially compromise Keycloak accounts or administrative access.
