Overview

openvpn-monitor is a web based OpenVPN monitor, that shows current connection information, such as users, location and data transferred.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the OpenVPN management interface socket. An attacker can use a newline character (0x0a) to inject additional commands into the socket. This allows an attacker for example to stop the OpenVPN server by sending a SIGTERM signal via the signal SIGTERM management command.
