DISA openscap remediation playbook failing on cron.allow file not existing

Issue

Using an openscap generated playbook for disa remediation:

# oscap xccdf generate fix --fix-type ansible --profile xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig-rhel7-disa --output /tmp/stig-rhel7-role.yml /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml

Running the playbook with only cron.allow related tasks, an error occurs:

# ansible-playbook --tags DISA-STIG-RHEL-07-021120,DISA-STIG-RHEL-07-021110 -k -i "server1," /tmp/stig-rhel7-role.yml

[...]
