"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- 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. (CVE-2026-80158)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
