CVE-2026-41070: openvpn-auth-oauth2 returns FUNC_SUCCESS on client-deny, allowing unauthenticated VPN access

April 22, 2026

When openvpn-auth-oauth2 is deployed in the experimental plugin mode (shared library loaded by OpenVPN via the plugin directive), clients that do not support WebAuth/SSO (e.g., the openvpn CLI on Linux) are incorrectly admitted to the VPN despite being denied by the authentication logic. The default management-interface mode is not affected because it does not use the OpenVPN plugin return-code mechanism.
