It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-7245 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: OpenVPN Connect. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-7245/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-7245/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-7245","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-7245/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-7245","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pr57-r6pp-3h3h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenVPN Connect client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary code in the OpenVPN Connect application by exploiting improper Node.js configuration via environment variables.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"OpenVPN","cpe":[{"product":"connect","vendor":"openvpn"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-95","name":"Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code"}],"description":"The nodejs framework in OpenVPN Connect 3.0 through 3.4.3 (Windows)/3.4.7 (macOS) was not properly configured, which allows a local user to execute arbitrary code within the nodejs process context via the ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE environment variable","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Code injection in OpenVPN Connect","id":"CVE-2023-7245","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"System Dashboard \u003c 2.8.10 - XSS via Header Injection","id":"CVE-2023-7246"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Ethercat Zeek Plugin Out-of-bounds Write","id":"CVE-2023-7244"},"products":["OpenVPN Connect"],"published":"2024-02-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Privilege escalation in OpenVPN Connect","id":"CVE-2026-9560","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Code injection in OpenVPN Connect","id":"CVE-2023-7224","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Code injection in OpenVPN Connect","id":"CVE-2021-3613","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-02"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-9442","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-28"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in OpenVPN Connect","id":"CVE-2024-8474","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-06"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Path traversal in OpenVPN Connect","id":"CVE-2020-15075","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-30"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-14","vendors":["OpenVPN"]},"summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary code in the OpenVPN Connect application by exploiting improper Node.js configuration via environment variables.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-7245/"}
