CVE-2017-7550
CRITICAL9.8EPSS 0.65%Ansible Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File vulnerability
Published: 5/13/2022Modified: 4/28/2026
Description
A flaw was found in the way Ansible (2.3.x before 2.3.3, and 2.4.x before 2.4.1) passed certain parameters to the jenkins_plugin module. Remote attackers could use this flaw to expose sensitive information from a remote host's logs. This flaw was fixed by not allowing passwords to be specified in the "params" argument, and noting this in the module documentation.
