The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 / 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2025:0721 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing     IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to     individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing     knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an     organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless     language.
