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 as when and until have long displayed warnings discouraging use of embedded templates in conditionals; this warning has been expanded to non-task conditionals as well, such as the assert 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 a rescue section fails on a host, the rescue section is executed on all hosts. This occurs because any_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.
