CVE-2019-10217
Description
A flaw was found in the gcp module of ansible. Certain fields managing sensitive data should be marked by the no_log feature. The service_account_contents(), which is common class for all gcp modules, is not being set as no_log to True. Any sensitive data managed by that function would be leaked as an output when running ansible playbooks. Data confidentiality is the highest threat with this vulnerability.
Statement
Ansible shipped with Red Hat Ceph Storage 3; Red Hat OpenStack 10, 13, and 14; and Ansible Engine 2.6 and 2.7 are not vulnerable as they do not include the cred_type implementation (service_account_contents).
