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&#39;s CA path at an attacker-controlled directory, bypassing server certificate validation and enabling credential theft via a rogue access point.
