Descriptions

Securepoint SSL VPN Client v2 before 2.0.32 on Windows has unsafe configuration handling that enables local privilege escalation to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. A non-privileged local user can modify the OpenVPN configuration stored under "%APPDATA%\Securepoint SSL VPN" and add a external script file that is executed as privileged user.

Securepoint SSL VPN Client versiones v2 anteriores a 2.0.32, en Windows, presenta un manejo de configuración no seguro que permite una escalada de privilegios local a NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Un usuario local no privilegiado puede modificar la configuración de OpenVPN almacenado en "%APPDATA%\Securepoint SSL VPN" y añadir un archivo de script externo que es ejecutado como usuario privilegiado

Securepoint SSL VPN Client version 2.0.30 suffers from a local privilege escalation vulnerability.
