      "value": "ibm.ibm_zhmc is an Ansible collection for the IBM Z HMC. The Ansible collection \"ibm.ibm_zhmc\" writes password-like properties in clear text into its log file and into the output returned by some of its Ansible module in the following cases: 1. The 'boot_ftp_password' and 'ssc_master_pw' properties are passed as input to the zhmc_partition Ansible module. 2. The 'ssc_master_pw' and 'zaware_master_pw' properties are passed as input to the zhmc_lpar Ansible module. 3. The 'password' property is passed as input to the zhmc_user Ansible module (just in log file, not in module output). 4. The 'bind_password' property is passed as input to the zhmc_ldap_server_definition Ansible module. These properties appear in the module output only when they were specified in the module input and when creating or updating the corresponding resources. They do not appear in the output when retrieving facts for the corresponding resources. These properties appear in the log file only when the \"log_file\" module input parameter is used. By default, no log file is created. This issue has been fixed in ibm.ibm_zhmc version 1.9.3. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability."

      "value": "ibm.ibm_zhmc es una colección de Ansible para IBM Z HMC. La colección de Ansible \"ibm.ibm_zhmc\" escribe propiedades similares a contraseñas en texto sin formato en su archivo de registro y en la salida devuelta por algunos de sus módulos de Ansible en los siguientes casos: 1. Las propiedades 'boot_ftp_password' y 'ssc_master_pw' se pasan como entrada al módulo de Ansible zhmc_partition. 2. Las propiedades 'ssc_master_pw' y 'zaware_master_pw' se pasan como entrada al módulo de Ansible zhmc_lpar. 3. La propiedad 'password' se pasa como entrada al módulo de Ansible zhmc_user (solo en el archivo de registro, no en la salida del módulo). 4. La propiedad 'bind_password' se pasa como entrada al módulo de Ansible zhmc_ldap_server_definition. Estas propiedades aparecen en la salida del módulo solo cuando se especificaron en la entrada del módulo y al crear o actualizar los recursos correspondientes. No aparecen en la salida cuando se recuperan datos para los recursos correspondientes. Estas propiedades aparecen en el archivo de registro solo cuando se utiliza el parámetro de entrada del módulo \"log_file\". De forma predeterminada, no se crea ningún archivo de registro. Este problema se ha solucionado en la versión 1.9.3 de ibm.ibm_zhmc. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen. No existen workarounds conocidos para esta vulnerabilidad."
