Overview

CVE-2026-87872 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 9, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.8 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.8, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

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.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
