Is it possible to find Ansible command history on the remote machine?

I can’t find an answer to this already, but maybe it’s because I don’t know what to search for.

Is it possible for someone with unrestricted access to the remote machine to find previously-run Ansible commands on that machine?

The specific thing I’m concerned in is whether they could find a password given as part of a command to the shell module.

To illustrate my question, if this task was run:

`
shell: do_something.sh --password=“password_text” creates=‘some_file’

`

Could the root user find “password_text” anywhere?

​In the system log, but you can prevent this by setting no_log: true on the task.​
