Technical details

The iDRACRedfishAPI, iDRACConnection, and SessionAPI components in Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules fail to properly validate SSL/TLS certificates, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this via network access without user interaction. Successful exploitation leads to information disclosure and integrity compromise of server management communications.
