Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-91873 (Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules, versions 2.1.2 through 10.0.3, contains an Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability in the…), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-91873 (entry last updated 2026-11-11):
Affected:
- Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules: version range not reported
Fixed versions: 11.0.0.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules versions 2.1.2 through 10.0.3 with the iDRACRedfishAPI component (source: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-in/000515420/dsa-2026-432-security-update-for-dell-ansible-server-vulnerabilities)
- Certificate verification is not enabled (validate_certs not set to True) when using iDRACRedfishAPI (source: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-in/000515420/dsa-2026-432-security-update-for-dell-ansible-server-vulnerabilities)
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: network access, no login, no user action.
Workaround: Explicitly enable certificate verification by setting validate_certs=True when using iDRACRedfishAPI. (source: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-in/000515420/dsa-2026-432-security-update-for-dell-ansible-server-vulnerabilities)
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-91873 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-91873 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-in/000515420/dsa-2026-432-security-update-for-dell-ansible-server-vulnerabilities
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.

## FAQ

### Is CVE-2026-91873 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.

Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-91873

### What does this mean?

The iDRACRedfishAPI component does not properly validate the certificate of the server it connects to. This can lead to information exposure and unauthorized access.

### Am I affected, and how do I check?

Versions 2.1.2 through 10.0.3 of Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules are affected when the iDRACRedfishAPI component is used with certificate verification not enabled. To check, look at the installed version of the Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules collection and at whether validate_certs is set to True in the playbooks that use iDRACRedfishAPI.
