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-2025-3908 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: OpenVPN 3 Linux. 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-2025-3908/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-3908/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-3908","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-3908/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-3908","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2025-3908","GHSA-fp2g-4h6f-28h2","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-3908"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenVPN 3 Linux","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can exploit symlink handling in the configuration tool to change ownership and permissions of arbitrary directories, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"OpenVPN","cpe":[{"product":"openvpn3linux","vendor":"openvpn"}],"cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"The configuration initialization tool in OpenVPN 3 Linux v20 through v24 on Linux allows a local attacker to use symlinks pointing at an arbitrary directory which will change the ownership and permissions of that destination directory.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Path traversal in OpenVPN 3 Linux","id":"CVE-2025-3908","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"JavaScript Execution via Spoofed PDF Attachment and file:/// Link","id":"CVE-2025-3909"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Search API Solr - Moderately critical - Cross Site Request Forgery - SA-CONTRIB-2025-046","id":"CVE-2025-3907"},"products":["OpenVPN 3 Linux"],"published":"2025-05-19","related":[],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-20","vendors":["OpenVPN"]},"summary":"A local attacker can exploit symlink handling in the configuration tool to change ownership and permissions of arbitrary directories, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-3908/"}
