Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules: Improper certificate validation in iDRAC connection
Summary
Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules versions 5.0.0 through 10.0.3 do not properly validate the certificate of iDRAC servers in the iDRACConnection component. An attacker with network access who can intercept or redirect traffic between the Ansible control node and iDRAC could expose information and gain unauthorized access. The attack requires high complexity conditions but no authentication or user interaction.
Affected
- Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules 5.0.0 through 10.0.3 (according to the CVE description)
- The CNA product-status data indicates versions before 11.0.0; whether versions before 5.0.0 are affected is unknown.
Fixed in
- Version 11.0.0 or later (according to secondary aggregators; not yet verified against the Dell advisory DSA-2026-432)
Workaround
- Unknown. No separate mitigation is documented in the sources reviewed; the vendor advisory should be checked.
- Interim measure (not a vendor statement): restrict network access between the Ansible control node and the iDRAC management network.
Exploitation
- Not known to be exploited in the wild (according to OffSeq).
- No public proof-of-concept found in the sources reviewed.
- VulDB rates exploitation as difficult; its score (3.7) differs from the CNA score (8.7).
Our recommendation
- Inventory all hosts running the modules, including Ansible control nodes and CI runners.
- Upgrade to version 11.0.0 or later after checking DSA-2026-432, and patch the related CVE-2026-91873 and CVE-2026-91875 together.
- Until patched, restrict control node access to the iDRAC management network.
- Re-check NVD and the Dell advisory for updates.
