CVE-2019-10217

23
FAUCET Score

CVE-2019-10217 is a medium-severity information disclosure vulnerability affecting Ansible versions 2.8.0 through 2.8.3. The flaw lies in certain Google Cloud Platform (GCP) modules where sensitive data fields, specifically those handled by the service_account_contents() function, were not properly marked with the no_log feature. This oversight could lead to sensitive information being inadvertently exposed in Ansible playbook output. With a CVSS score of 6.5, this vulnerability has a high confidentiality impact, requiring low privileges and no user interaction for exploitation over a network. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
