I don't necessarily disagree with this stance, but from a pragmatic
perspective the VMT lacks any real authority to put all OpenStack
development on lockdown and hold developers hostage so that they're
forced to redesign internal communication between components with more
secure mechanisms rather than work on their various pet features. As
much as I wish we could...

Title:
  MITM vulnerability with EMC VMAX driver

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

Bug description:
  The EMC VMAX driver in Juno appears to blindly trust whatever
  certificate it gets back from the device without any validation (it
  does not specify the ca_certs parameter, etc. on
  WBEMConnection.__init__). This would leave it open to a MITM attack.
