Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Immediately inventory all TheGreenBow VPN clients in use across all platforms to identify affected versions. 2. Monitor official TheGreenBow communications and CVE databases for patches or updates addressing CVE-2024-45750 and apply them promptly upon release. 3. Until patches are available, restrict VPN client access to trusted networks and IP addresses using firewall rules to limit exposure to potential attackers. 4. Implement network-level intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to monitor for anomalous IKEv2 authentication attempts or malformed ECDSA signatures. 5. Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) where possible to add an additional layer of security beyond the vulnerable VPN client authentication. 6. Educate users and administrators about the vulnerability and encourage vigilance for suspicious VPN behavior or unexpected connection attempts. 7. Consider temporary alternative secure VPN solutions if patching is delayed or if risk tolerance is low. 8. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focused on VPN infrastructure to detect potential exploitation attempts early.

Description

An issue in TheGreenBow Windows Standard VPN Client 6.87.108 (and older), Windows Enterprise VPN Client 6.87.109 (and older), Windows Enterprise VPN Client 7.5.007 (and older), Android VPN Client 6.4.5 (and older) VPN Client Linux 3.4 (and older), VPN Client MacOS 2.4.10 (and older) allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the IKEv2 Authentication phase, it accepts malformed ECDSA signatures and establishes the tunnel.

Impact

The vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code on affected VPN clients, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of VPN communications. This can lead to unauthorized access to internal networks, interception or manipulation of sensitive data, and potential lateral movement within enterprise environments. Organizations relying on TheGreenBow VPN clients for secure remote access, especially in sectors like government, finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, face elevated risks of data breaches and operational disruption. The ability to exploit this vulnerability without authentication or user interaction increases the attack surface and likelihood of exploitation. Additionally, compromised VPN clients could serve as footholds for further attacks, including deployment of malware or ransomware. The absence of known exploits currently provides a limited window for proactive defense, but the severity and ease of exploitation warrant urgent attention.
