5DescriptionCVE.org
An authentication issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.6.1 and iPadOS 26.6.1. An attacker in a privileged network position may be able to bypass IPSec authentication and intercept network traffic.
AnalysisAI
IPSec authentication bypass in Apple iOS and iPadOS (all versions prior to 26.6.1) allows an adjacent-network attacker to circumvent IPSec mutual authentication and intercept device network traffic. The root cause is improper state management (CWE-287) in the IPSec stack, corrected in iOS 26.6.1 and iPadOS 26.6.1. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to occupy a privileged adjacent network position - physically or logically on the same network segment as the target, such as a shared Wi-Fi network, enterprise LAN, or ISP/carrier interception point capable of intercepting IP-layer traffic. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N yields a Medium score of 5.9, and all signals converge on moderate-but-constrained real-world risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is upgrading to iOS 26.6.1 or iPadOS 26.6.1 via Settings > General > Software Update, or through Apple Configurator or an MDM solution for enterprise fleet management. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
