* VM-1452: replace pickle cache serialization with JSON Remove insecure pickle.loads from the Ansible record cache path (CWE-502) and round-trip Record state via Fernet-encrypted JSON. * VM-1452: invalidate legacy cache and fall back to vault Ignore unusable pickle/invalid record caches without deserializing them, warn, and fetch from the vault so plays continue until keeper_cache_records rebuilds JSON. * VM-1452: avoid AnsibleError str() in cache fallback test Newer ansible-core can recurse in AnsibleError.__str__; assert on exception args instead so CI stays green. * docs(ansible): correct changelog version 1.4.1 -> 1.5.0
- Add KSM-845 changelog entry to both READMEs' 1.5.0 section, which only documented the VM-1452 cache fix - Add playbook-level test for keeper_create_subfolder.yml, exercising the actual YAML via AnsibleTestFramework rather than only the Python create_record() unit test, matching every other example playbook's coverage in this suite
helper FieldType.__init__ crashes with IndexError when a dict-typed
field (address, name, host, passkey, etc.) has value: [] -- the
server's normal representation of an unpopulated complex field.
keeper_create passed field values from playbook args directly to
Field(), so any playbook with an explicitly empty complex field
crashed with AnsibleError("Could not create record: list index out
of range"), giving no signal about which field caused the failure.
Fix: convert value: [] to None with "or None" before passing to
Field(). FieldType.__init__ treats None as "no value" and skips the
dict-field index that crashes on empty lists, so the field is created
as unpopulated rather than crashing. Applies to both standard fields
and custom_fields.
Root cause in the helper is tracked as KSM-1119. Cleanup comments
added at both Field() sites to flag the workaround for removal once
the helper ships the "if self.value:" guard in FieldType.__init__.

Summary
Release branch for Keeper Secrets Manager Ansible v1.5.0, adding subfolder record creation, replacing the unsafe cache serialization format, and fixing a crash in keeper_create on empty complex fields.
Changes
New Features
keeper_createnow accepts an optionalfolder_uidparameter to place new records in a subfolder within a shared folder, rather than always creating at the shared folder root.Bug Fixes
picklewith JSON for the record cache encrypt/decrypt path.pickle.loads()on attacker-influenced data (e.g. via AWX extra vars) is a known RCE vector; JSON is safe regardless of input source.keeper_createcrashed with "Could not create record: list index out of range" when a playbook supplied a dict-typed complex field (address, name, host, etc.) withvalue: []. Playbook values are now converted from[]to unpopulated before being passed to the helper, so the record is created with the field empty rather than crashing. Root cause in the helper library is tracked as KSM-1119.Maintenance
