A flaw was found in Ansible Galaxy Collections. When collections are built manually, any files in the repository directory that are not explicitly excluded via the build_ignore
list in "galaxy.yml" include files in the .tar.gz
file. This contains sensitive info, such as the user's Ansible Galaxy API key and any secrets in ansible
or ansible-playbook
verbose output without theno_log
redaction. Currently, there is no way to deprecate a Collection Or delete a Collection Version. Once published, anyone who downloads or installs the collection can view the secrets.
