description: OpenVPN is a virtual private network system that implements techniques
to create secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged
configurations and remote access facilities. It implements both client and server
applications. If sudo right is given to the OpenVPN application for the user, then
the user can run system commands as root and possibly get a root shell.

how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
logs with the process name, parent process, and command-line executions from your
endpoints into the Endpoint datamodel. If you are using Sysmon, you can use the
Add-on for Linux Sysmon from Splunkbase.
