CVE-2026-58000
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.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.71%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
