CVE-2025-3110: OpenVPN Access Server HTTP request smuggling via bare line-feed sequences

CVE-2025-3110 · Severity: info · CVSS 6.9 · Published 2026-07-08

OpenVPN Access Server is a solution used by businesses to provide secure remote access to their internal networks. A vulnerability in how the server handles web traffic allows attackers to "smuggle" hidden requests past security filters when the server is used behind a reverse proxy. This could allow an attacker to bypass security controls or gain unauthorized access to internal web resources.

Vendors: Openvpn.

Technical details

OpenVPN Access Server versions 2.7.2 through 3.1.0 are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling (CWE-444). The software incorrectly handles bare line-feed (LF) characters within HTTP header values instead of requiring the standard CRLF sequence. When the Access Server is deployed behind a reverse proxy that interprets these sequences differently, an attacker can craft a request that is seen as one request by the proxy but two separate requests by the backend Access Server. This allows the attacker to 'smuggle' a second, unauthorized request to the backend, potentially bypassing security constraints enforced by the proxy. The issue is addressed in Access Server version 3.2.0.
