CVE-2025-8069 – AWS Client VPN Windows OpenSSL Configuration File Execution

CVE ID : CVE-2025-8069

Published : July 23, 2025, 4:15 p.m. | 45 minutes ago

Description : During the AWS Client VPN client installation on Windows devices, the install process references the C:usrlocalwindows-x86_64-openssl-localbuildssl directory location to fetch the OpenSSL configuration file. As a result, a non-admin user could place arbitrary code in the configuration file. If an admin user starts the AWS Client VPN client installation process, that code could be executed with root-level privileges. This issue does not affect Linux or Mac devices.

We recommend users discontinue any new installations of AWS Client VPN on Windows prior to version 5.2.2.

Severity: 7.8 | HIGH
