Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ansible (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to the Ansible "User" module, which leaks data passed as parameters to ssh-keygen. This could lead to undesirable situations where sensitive information, such as passphrases or credentials, is exposed in clear text to users with access to the process list. An attacker could exploit this to gain unauthorized access to confidential user information by accessing the process list.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
