Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2015-06-10 18:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:26
Severity
Summary
strongSwan 4.3.0 through 5.x before 5.3.2 and strongSwan VPN Client before 1.4.6, when using EAP or pre-shared keys for authenticating an IKEv2 connection, does not enforce server authentication restrictions until the entire authentication process is complete, which allows remote servers to obtain credentials by using a valid certificate and then reading the responses.
