A flaw was found in Ansible in the amazon.aws collection when using the `tower_callback` parameter from the `amazon.aws.ec2_instance` module. This flaw allows an attacker to take advantage of this issue as the module is handling the parameter insecurely, leading to the password leaking in the logs.
