CVE-2025-13086

⚠️ An attacker could hijack an OpenVPN session just by masquerading as a trusted IP! This improper validation lets them open a session from a different source — talk about identity theft! 🔒 Think of it like someone sneaking into a members-only club by wearing a badge they didn’t earn — they get access while the real member is left out in the cold. That’s what’s happening with OpenVPN sessions when source IPs aren’t properly checked! This vulnerability could lead to a denial of service for legitimate clients, effectively locking them out while the imposter has a grand time inside. If an attacker exploits this, your network’s integrity is at stake, causing potential disruptions and downtime for users who genuinely belong!
