Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for ansible.

CVE-2026-80158[0]:
| A flaw was found in the ipa_getkeytab module of the
| community.general Ansible collection. The module's bind_pw
| parameter, used to supply the LDAP simple-bind password when
| retrieving a Kerberos keytab, is not declared with no_log, unlike
| the sibling password parameter in the same module. As a consequence,
| the supplied IPA/LDAP bind password is recorded in cleartext in the
| managed host's system journal/syslog (the module's "Invoked with"
| record), is included in the module's return values and verbose (-v)
| output, and is displayed in Automation Controller / AWX job output.
| The password is additionally passed on the command line to the ipa-
| getkeytab helper (as --bindpw <value>), exposing it in the process
| list to local users while the command runs. An attacker able to read
| these logs, job output, or the process table can obtain the
| directory bind credential, potentially compromising the accounts and
| objects that credential can access.
