Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via GitHub release of openvpn/openvpn. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

Denial-of-service in OpenVPN via a reachable assertion (CWE-617) allows a remote, low-privileged attacker to crash the OpenVPN daemon under high-complexity, timing-specific conditions. All OpenVPN deployments running versions prior to v2.7.5 are affected; the fix is available in the v2.7.5 release disclosed pre-NVD via GitHub. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate to OpenVPN server with low-privilege credentials
Delivery
Craft timing-specific control channel packet sequence
Exploit
Trigger reachable assertion in daemon code path
Execution
OpenVPN daemon process aborts
Impact
All active VPN tunnels terminated

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The CVSS 4.0 vector specifies PR:L (low privileges required), indicating the attacker must hold some form of authenticated access to the OpenVPN server - unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the available data. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.9 (Medium) appropriately reflects a constrained exploitation path: high attack complexity (AC:H), specific attack preconditions (AT:P), low privileges required (PR:L), passive user interaction (UI:P), and an availability-only impact (VA:H, VC:N, VI:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A remote attacker with low-level authenticated access to an OpenVPN server crafts a timing-specific sequence of control-channel packets that triggers a reachable assertion in the daemon, causing it to abort and terminating all active VPN sessions. The high attack complexity and specific timing preconditions (AC:H, AT:P) suggest exploitation requires detailed knowledge of the server's packet processing state rather than a simple one-shot payload. …
Remediation Upgrade to OpenVPN v2.7.5 or later, which contains the confirmed fix as published at https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/releases/tag/v2.7.5 and referenced in the vendor security announcement at https://community.openvpn.net/Security%20Announcements/CVE-2026-13122. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
