Ansible 2.5 prior to 2.5.5, and 2.4 prior to 2.4.5, do not honor the nolog task flag for failed tasks. When the nolog flag has been used to protect sensitive data passed to a task from being logged, and that task does not run successfully, Ansible will expose sensitive data in log files and on the terminal of the user running Ansible.
