Description

Ansible 2.5 prior to 2.5.5, and 2.4 prior to 2.4.5, do not honor the no_log task flag for failed tasks. When the no_log flag has been used to protect sensitive data passed to a task from being logged, and that task does not run successfully, Ansible will expose sensitive data in log files and on the terminal of the user running Ansible.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

2.4 ≤ v < 2.4.52.5 < v ≤ 2.5.52.0
Affected range stops below 2.4.5, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
