A flaw was found in the Ansible Automation Platform's Event-Driven Ansible. In configurations where verbosity is set to "debug", inventory passwords are exposed in plain text when starting a rulebook activation. This issue exists for any "debug" action in a rulebook and also affects Event Streams.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2025:3636 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing     IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to     individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing     knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an     organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless     language.

    Security Fix(es):

    * ansible-rulebook: exposure inventory passwords in plain text when starting a rulebook activation with     verbosity set to debug in EDA (CVE-2025-2877)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

    Additional changes:
    * ansible-rulebook has been updated to 1.0.8
    * automation-controller has been updated to 4.5.21
