Since OpenVPN is uses OpenSSL for crypto functions, it's security in terms of man-in-the-middle attacks should be no less than OpenSSL - which is pretty good.
On the other hand, OpenVPN could in theory have local end-point exploits that reduce it's security in terms of local users. If you have no local users - e.g. you keep them out with restrictions on physical access an a local firewall that prevents access to exploitable services running on your machine, then the overall level of security could approach that of OpenSSL.
The above is my 2c. I'm not a security expert and have not investigated the security history of OpenVPN.
