Ansible core contains a vulnerability (CVE-2024-8775) where sensitive information stored in Ansible Vault files can be exposed in plaintext during playbook execution if the no_log: true parameter is not set when loading vaulted variables. This can result in secrets such as passwords or API keys being printed in logs or output, risking unauthorized disclosure. The issue affects versions prior to 2.17.6 and 2.16.13. A fix is available in these versions.
