The installer (aka openvpn-client-installer) in Securepoint SSL VPN Client before 2.0.40 allows local privilege escalation during installation or repair.
An attacker can take leverage on PerFact OpenVPN-Client versions 1.4.1.0 and prior to send the config command from any application running on the local host machine to force the back-end server into initializing a new open-VPN instance with arbitrary open-VPN configuration. This could result in the attacker achieving execution with privileges of a SYSTEM user.
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.
