CVE-2026-11819CVE-2026-11819
Description
Module: plugins/modules/keyring_info.py
CVSS 3.1: 5.5 MEDIUM — AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Issue: The module retrieves a passphrase from the OS native keyring (GNOME Keyring, macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager) and places it directly into result["passphrase"] with no output suppression, no no_log protection, and no documentation warning.
Root Cause:
Line 105 (protected): keyring_password=dict(type="str", required=True, no_log=True)
Line 127 (NOT protected): result["passphrase"] = passphrase
Observed Output:
{
"changed": false,
"passphrase": "MyMasterP@ssw0rd!SSH_Key_Secret"
}
Visible via register + debug:
{
"keyring_result": {
"changed": false,
"passphrase": "MyMasterP@ssw0rd!SSH_Key_Secret"
}
}
Impact:
Master passwords, SSH key passphrases and service credentials appear in all Ansible output
register: keyring_result followed by debug: var=keyring_result prints passphrase in full
Ansible fact caching backends (Redis, JSON file, memcached) may persist the
