What it is

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.
