CVE-2026-97350 Details
Description
Securepoint SSL VPN Client v2 on Windows contains vulnerabilities in the handling of OpenVPN configurations and proxy settings that allow non-privileged local users to influence operations performed with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges. Two attack vectors have been identified: * Improper authorization of configuration checksum updates: The privileged service does not properly validate the authorization of connecting clients when updating the checksum of an OpenVPN configuration. This allows a non-privileged local user to modify an OpenVPN configuration and set a valid checksum without administrator privileges. The modified configuration is subsequently processed with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges. * Argument injection via proxy settings: The client does not properly validate or sanitize proxy settings before passing them as arguments to OpenVPN. A non-privileged local user can inject additional arguments through the proxy settings, influencing the execution of OpenVPN with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges. This attack vector does not require direct communication with the privileged service or modification of the protected OpenVPN configuration.
A vulnerability has been identified in Securepoint SSL VPN Client version 2.0.49 and prior on Windows. This vulnerability arises from improper handling of OpenVPN configurations and proxy settings, enabling non-privileged local users to manipulate operations executed with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges. Two primary attack vectors have been recognized: first, the service fails to adequately validate the authorization of clients when they update the checksum of OpenVPN configurations, allowing unauthorized modifications that are processed with elevated privileges. Second, the client inadequately sanitizes proxy settings before relaying them to OpenVPN, permitting argument injection that influences the execution of OpenVPN with SYSTEM privileges, without direct interaction with the privileged service or alteration of the OpenVPN configuration.
Users are advised to update to Securepoint SSL VPN Client version 2.0.50, released on October 8, 2026, to address this vulnerability.
