Description

update_config_field() in wizard.php needs to use eval to construct a variable name that is several array levels deep. The problem lies in the way the value is set for this variable, it can be bypassed in various ways, including using passthru to escape addslashes.

It's easiest to test by using the OpenVPN wizard, get to the step with the interface selection and use firebug to alter the interface value to be" 

wan";echo exec("id");"
