Ansible does not collect garbage after playbook run
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
A flaw was found in Ansible Base when using the aws_ssm connection plugin as its garbage collector is not happening after the playbook run is completed. Files would remain in the bucket exposing the data. This issue directly affects data confidentiality.
