CVE-2026-19685
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10
Networkmanager: networkmanager: 802-1x ca-path and phase2-ca-path bypass private_user restriction, allowing wpa-enterprise server validation bypass (incomplete fix for cve-2025-9615)
CVSS 3.1
7.1High
Official description
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.
