Quick fix
PYSEC-2018-60 — ansible: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'ansible>=2.5.13'Details
Execution of Ansible playbooks on Windows platforms with PowerShell ScriptBlock logging and Module logging enabled can allow for 'become' passwords to appear in EventLogs in plaintext. A local user with administrator privileges on the machine can view these logs and discover the plaintext password. Ansible Engine 2.8 and older are believed to be vulnerable.
