A vulnerability in the certificate management subsystem of Cisco AnyConnect Network Access Manager and of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for iOS, Mac OS X, Android, Windows, and Linux could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the TLS certificate check when downloading certain configuration files. The vulnerability is due to improper use of Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol and improper server certificate validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by preparing malicious profile and localization files for Cisco AnyConnect to use. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to remotely change the configuration profile, a certificate, or the localization data used by AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvh23141.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco AnyConnect could be tricked into accepting malicious configuration, certificate, or localization files because certificate validation was handled incorrectly. For executives, the risk is unauthorized change to VPN client behavior, not confirmed system compromise. The source bundle does not provide CVSS, fixed versions, or active exploitation evidence. Organizations using Cisco AnyConnect Network Access Manager or AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client on iOS, Mac OS X, Android, Windows, or Linux may be exposed. The bundle does not identify exact vulnerable versions or deployment conditions. Treat as a targeted VPN client integrity risk. Prioritize inventory and Cisco-guided remediation, especially for remote workforce endpoints. Urgency is reduced by absent KEV or active exploitation evidence in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20180606-AnyConnect-cert-bypass for fixed releases and guidance.; Inventory AnyConnect clients and Network Access Manager deployments across supported platforms.; Prioritize remediation for managed VPN clients used outside trusted networks..

Improper Certificate Validation

Improper Certificate Validation represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
