Administrator code execution via privileged OpenVPN instance
Published Aug 5, 2023 · Updated Oct 17, 2024
Privilege escalation in Stormshield SSL VPN Client before 3.2.0 allows local users to execute code with administrator privileges. The client exposes its privileged OpenVPN instance to a logged-in user who is otherwise permitted only to launch the VPN client, but the exact unsafe OpenVPN operation is undisclosed. Exploitation requires a local logged-in account and grants administrator-level code execution on the Windows host.
