CVE-2025-25568 (GCVE-0-2025-25568)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-03-12 00:00 – Updated: 2025-07-19 01:24 Disputed

Summary
SoftEtherVPN 5.02.5187 is vulnerable to Use after Free in the Command.c file via the CheckNetworkAcceptThread function. NOTE: the Supplier disputes this because the use-after-free is not in the VPN software, but is instead in a separate tool that has no untrusted input and runs under the user's own privileges (it is a stress-testing tool for a networking stack).
