While this might not need to be embargoed I think it should be taken
more seriously. Bug 1188189 was just over a year ago and since then most
projects have improved their security. So what we have here is an
outlying driver that offers a significantly lower standard of security
than the rest of the system.

Title:
  MITM vulnerability with XIV driver

Status in Cinder:
  New
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The XIV driver in Juno appears to blindly trust whatever certificate
  it gets back from the device without any validation. This would leave
  it open to a MITM attack.
