AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenVPN versions 2.0.7 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to potentially view sensitive information or cause a denial of service when OpenVPN is configured to use the --management option with an IP that is not 127.0.0.1, as it uses a cleartext password for TCP sessions to the management interface.

Recommendations For OpenVPN versions 2.0.7 and earlier, consider disabling the --management option or restricting its use to the localhost IP (127.0.0.1) to minimize the risk of exploitation.
