CVE-2024-1490Network attack vector

Authenticated command injection via OpenVPN script configuration

Published Apr 9, 2026 · Updated Apr 9, 2026

Code injection in WAGO controllers and panels with OpenVPN enabled allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary shell commands. WBM accepts permitted user-defined OpenVPN scripts that are executed as shell commands without a published restriction on command content. Administrative WBM privileges, enabled OpenVPN, and permission for user-defined scripts are required; successful exploitation grants full device control.
