A flaw was found in NetworkManager. The NetworkManager package allows access to files that may belong to other users. NetworkManager allows non-root users to configure the system's network. The daemon runs with root privileges and can access files owned by users different from the one who added the connection.

The remote Fedora 42 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2026-0d1cf2e45b advisory.

    Updated to 1.52.0 release (CVE-2025-9615)     Verify file permissions for private connections to prevent     unprivileged user from using other user's certs.

    Ensure NetworkManager dependency has CVE-2025-9615 update.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.
