CVE-2026-91876Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules XML external entity
CVE-2026-91876 is a XML external entity in Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules, rated medium (5.5 on CVSS 3.1).
Why this priority: Medium severity, with no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
The XML parser resolves external entities, so a crafted document can read local files or reach internal hosts.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it by someone who can already run code or sign in on the machine, with an ordinary user account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker read local files or reach internal hosts through the parser.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules to 11.0.0 or later or later.
- Limit who can run code or sign in on the hosts that run it.
Description from NVD
Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules, versions 2.0.4 through 10.0.3, contains an Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference vulnerability in the XML parsing component. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to information exposure.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- XML and document parsers in APIs and import features. The flaw sits between uploaded or posted documents and the service parsing them.
Trust boundaries in play
- Host boundary. The attacker needs a foothold on the machine first; the flaw turns a small foothold into a bigger one.
- Between uploaded or posted documents and the service parsing them. An attacker who crosses it can read local files or reach internal hosts through the parser.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Dell OpenManage Ansible Modules run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those hosts also run code or users you do not fully trust?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
