In short

The OpenVPN Access Server installer creates a log file that anyone can read, and this file contains the randomly generated admin password. This means an attacker with local access to the system can easily find and use the admin password to take control of the server.

An attacker with local file system access can read this log to obtain valid credentials for administrative access, bypassing authentication controls.
