Red Hat · Ansible Tower · CVE-2021-3447
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform versions prior to 1.2.2
Ansible Tower versions prior to 3.8.2
**Description**
A flaw was found in several ansible modules, where parameters containing credentials, such as secrets, were being logged in plain-text on managed nodes, as well as being made visible on the controller node when run in verbose mode. These parameters were not protected by the `no log` feature. An attacker can take advantage of this information to steal those credentials, provided when they have access to the log files containing them. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.
**Recommendations**
For Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform versions prior to 1.2.2, update to version 1.2.2 or later to resolve the issue.
For Ansible Tower versions prior to 3.8.2, update to version 3.8.2 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the verbose mode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Restrict access to the log files containing sensitive information to prevent unauthorized access.
