Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from the callback plugins' failure to sanitize the 'args' field in task data. The GitHub patch (75288a8) explicitly removes 'args' from result._task_fields in both Splunk and Sumologic plugins' send_event methods. Prior to this fix, these functions included raw task arguments in logs sent to external collectors, even when no_log=True was configured. The issue reproduction in #63522 demonstrates that 'args' contained unredacted sensitive data, confirming these functions as the vulnerability source.
