Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenVPN versions 2.6.9 and earlier

Description The issue is related to the interactive service in OpenVPN, which allows the OpenVPN service pipe to be accessed remotely. This enables a remote attacker to interact with the privileged OpenVPN interactive service, potentially leading to privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is associated with insufficient restriction of the communication channel for specified endpoints.

Recommendations For OpenVPN versions 2.6.9 and earlier, consider disabling the interactive service as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the OpenVPN service pipe to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
