Technical details
An improper certificate validation vulnerability (CWE-295) exists in the Prisma Access Agent for iOS. The flaw stems from the application failing to correctly verify the authenticity of the server's SSL/TLS certificate during the connection process. An attacker positioned on an adjacent network (such as the same Wi-Fi segment) can exploit this by presenting a fraudulent certificate, enabling a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to decrypt, view, or modify VPN traffic. The issue is fixed in version 26.2.1; other platforms like Windows, macOS, and Android are not affected.
