RISK

Why vpn_ipsec_phase1_update is rated Medium

IPsec Phase 1 controls VPN tunnel establishment, encryption algorithms, authentication methods, and key exchange parameters. An update tool can modify critical security configurations like encryption standards, peer authentication, or DPD settings. This is Write rather than Execute because it modifies stored configuration data reversibly through the API, not arbitrary code execution.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'vpn_ipsec_phase1_update' indicates modification of IPsec Phase 1 VPN configuration parameters. The '_update' suffix confirms data modification rather than retrieval.
