This includes OpenVPN, CAPsMAN, Dot1x (802.1X),\namong others.\n\n\n\nThe vulnerability lies in shared certificate validation\nlogic which uses the system certificate store that is shared and equally\ntrusted by all system services. This causes confusion of scope, allowing any\ncertificate authority present in the system-wide trust store to be trusted in\nany context (with some exceptions), allowing partial or full authentication\nbypass in CAPsMAN, OpenVPN, Dot1X and potentially others.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":6.5},"cwes":["CWE-295"],"references":["https://www.cert.si/en/cve-2025-42611/"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:55.586217763+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-42611","score":0.00186,"percentile":0.0813,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
