win_useradd, salt-cloud and the Linode driver in salt 2015.5.x before 2015.5.6, and 2015.8.x before 2015.8.1 leak password information in debug logs.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.83%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
