An issue exists in the Clario VPN client up to and including 5.9.1.1662 for macOS. The VPN client insecurely configures the operating system such that all IP traffic to the VPN server's IP address is sent in plaintext outside the VPN tunnel even if this traffic is not generated by the VPN client. This allows an adversary to trick the victim into sending plaintext traffic to the VPN server's IP address and thereby deanonymize the victim. NOTE: the tunnelcrack.mathyvanhoef.com website uses this CVE ID to refer more generally to "ServerIP attack for only traffic to the real IP address of the VPN server" rather than to only Clario.

A team of academics – Nian Xue of New York University, Yashaswi Malla, Zihang Xia, and Christina Popper of New York University Abu Dhabi, and Mathy Vanhoef of imec-DistriNet and KU Leuven – on Tuesday explained how the attacks work, released proof-of-concept exploits, and reckoned "ever...
