AI-suggested
A fix for this vulnerability is available and was introduced in commit e4ff45e. Users should update luci-proto-openvpn to a version that includes this fix (versions later than 0.11.1). Until updated, restrict access to authenticated users with OpenVPN protocol configuration privileges to trusted personnel only.
Description
luci-proto-openvpn through 0.11.1, fixed in commit e4ff45e, contains a command injection vulnerability in the generateKey ubus method where the cl_meta parameter is interpolated into a shell command without proper escaping or quoting. An authenticated LuCI user with OpenVPN protocol configuration access can inject arbitrary shell metacharacters into cl_meta to execute commands as root via the popen function.
