CVE-2026-75925

IXON VPN Client CRLF Injection

Published Sep 4, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 9.4 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Improper neutralization of CRLF sequences in IXON VPN Client before version 1.4.7 allows an attacker to execute commands as root or SYSTEM. Configuration values accepted by the local service are written to a file later consumed by a privileged subprocess, without line-ending sequences being neutralized, which allows additional directives to be introduced into that file. The configuration interface accepts changes without authenticating or verifying the origin of the requester. 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.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

IXON recommends updating the IXON VPN client to version 1.4.7 or later on every computer where it is installed. As of August 5, 2026, IXON cloud rejects connections from clients below v1.4.7 at both the portal and the back-end API. Since the privileged subprocess and injected listener are only created when the client connects, unpatched installations cannot complete the exploit chain. If the client is no longer needed, IXON recommends uninstalling the VPN client from the computer.
