Hi, The following vulnerability was published for ansible. CVE-2026-87872[0]: | A flaw was found in the OCAPI modules (ocapi_command, ocapi_info) of | the community.general Ansible collection. The shared OCAPI request | helper disables TLS certificate validation on every request and the | modules expose no parameter to re-enable it, while sending HTTP | Basic-Auth credentials to an https endpoint. An attacker positioned | on the network path between the Ansible controller and the OCAPI- | managed storage/enclosure device can present any certificate, | intercept the session, capture the credentials, and tamper with | responses. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2530988 is the only reference which is sadly private. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
