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 passphrase AWX/Tower job logs silently store the live credential Fix: module.exit_json(changed=False, passphrase=passphrase, _ansible_no_log=True) Also add a documentation warning requiring callers to use no_log: true at the task level. PoCs Fig 1: PoC execution showing passphrase in plaintext output Fig 2: Source code showing no_log=True on input (line 105) vs unprotected output (line 127) community.general: community.general keyring_info — OS keyring passphrase returned in plaintext This flaw was found community.general v13.0.0 which currently does not ship with any product. However, code review shows it is in older versions that do ship with products, such as 11.4.8 which ships with RHEL 10.3 The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
