Pritunl Client v1.2.2550.20 contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the pritunl-service component. The attack vector is: malicious openvpn config. A local attacker could leverage the log and log-append along with log injection to create or append to privileged script files and execute code as root/SYSTEM.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
