Ansible 10 Porting Guide
Ansible 10 is based on Ansible-core 2.17.
We suggest you read this page along with the Ansible 10 Changelog to understand what updates you may need to make.
Playbook
Conditionals - due to mitigation of security issue CVE-2023-5764 in ansible-core 2.16.1, conditional expressions with embedded template blocks can fail with the message “
Conditional is marked as unsafe, and cannot be evaluated.
” when an embedded template consults data from untrusted sources like module results or vars marked!unsafe
. Conditionals with embedded templates can be a source of malicious template injection when referencing untrusted data, and can nearly always be rewritten without embedded templates. Playbook task conditional keywords such aswhen
anduntil
have long displayed warnings discouraging use of embedded templates in conditionals; this warning has been expanded to non-task conditionals as well, such as theassert
action.- name: task with a module result (always untrusted by Ansible) shell: echo "hi mom" register: untrusted_result # don't do it this way... # - name: insecure conditional with embedded template consulting untrusted data # assert: # that: '"hi mom" is in {{ untrusted_result.stdout }}' - name: securely access untrusted values directly as Jinja variables instead assert: that: '"hi mom" is in untrusted_result.stdout'
any_errors_fatal
- when a task in a block with arescue
section fails on a host, therescue
section is executed on all hosts. This occurs becauseany_errors_fatal
automatically fails all hosts.
Command Line
Python 2.7 and Python 3.6 are no longer supported remote versions. Python 3.7+ is now required for target execution.

to the task. If you think this breaks your use-case of this module, please create an issue in the community.crypto repository (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/712, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/714).

andstate=installed
