September 3, 2026 · CISA (US-CERT) · Severity: CRITICAL
View CSAF Summary Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to perform remote code execution on the computer running the client with elevated privileges. The following versions of IXON VPN Client are affected: VPN Client <1.4.7 (CVE-2026-75925) CVSS Vendor Equipment Vulnerabilities v3 9.6 IXON IXON VPN Client Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection') Background Critical Infrastructure Sectors: Commercial Facilities, Critical Manufacturing, Energy, Information Technology, Water and Wastewater Countries/Areas Deployed: Worldwide Company Headquarters Location: Netherlands Vulnerabilities Expand All + CVE-2026-75925 Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences (CWE-93) in IXON VPN Client before version 1.4.7 allows an attacker to execute commands as root or SYSTEM.

The configuration interface accepts changes without authenticating or verifying the origin of the requester (CWE-306, contributing). The injected configuration persists on disk across restarts of the client and the operating system, and the VPN connection continues to function normally, so there is no behavioral change visible to the user.
