The Windows interactive service in OpenVPN 2.4.0 through 2.6.22 allows local authenticated users to bypass the trusted configuration directory constraint via incorrect file path validation
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.15%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
