CVE-2026-19685
CriticalCVSS 9.8Summary
NetworkManager did not apply the private_user restriction to the 802-1x.ca-path and phase2-ca-path directory-valued connection properties. This incomplete fix for CVE-2025-9615 allows an unprivileged local user to point a private WPA-Enterprise (802.1X) connection profile's CA path at an attacker-controlled directory, bypassing server certificate validation and enabling credential theft via a rogue access point.
Risk Assessment
A local user can intercept network credentials, potentially leading to unauthorized access to the corporate network and data theft.
Recommendation
Apply the vendor's patch that fully fixes CVE-2025-9615, and consider restricting access to network connection configuration.
