Tunnel establishment via fail-open OCSP validation
Published Oct 27, 2025 · Updated Oct 27, 2025
Improper certificate revocation checking in TheGreenBow Windows Enterprise VPN Client 7.5 and 7.6 allows remote attackers to cause IKEv2 tunnel establishment. The client treats a missing OCSP response or one with an invalid signature as sufficient and completes gateway authentication instead of rejecting it. Exploitation requires the OCSP option to be enabled; the resulting trust failure compromises the confidentiality of protected communications.
