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-2026-9560 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-2026-9560/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-9560/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-9560","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-9560/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-9560","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-26rp-gp3x-v78c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenVPN Connect client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges via the background service IPC channel in OpenVPN Connect for macOS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"OpenVPN","cpe":[{"product":"connect","vendor":"openvpn"}],"cvss":{"score":9.4,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-648","name":"Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs"},{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"},{"id":"CWE-270","name":"Privilege Context Switching Error"},{"id":"CWE-267","name":"Privilege Defined With Unsafe Actions"}],"description":"Privilege escalation via background service of OpenVPN Connect 3.5.1 through 3.8.1 on macOS allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges via local IPC channel","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-06-01","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-06-01T06:14:54Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/HORKimhab/CVE-2026-9560","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2026-9560 - Draft"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in OpenVPN Connect","id":"CVE-2026-9560","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Eclipse Kura","id":"CVE-2026-9561"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Mautic vulnerable to Path Traversal via Campaign Import","id":"CVE-2026-9559"},"products":["OpenVPN Connect"],"published":"2026-05-26","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Code injection in OpenVPN Connect","id":"CVE-2023-7245","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-20"},{"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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-27","vendors":["OpenVPN Inc"]},"summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges via the background service IPC channel in OpenVPN Connect for macOS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-9560/"}
