What is CVE-2024-42469?

The CometVisu visualization add-on for openHAB, prior to version 4.2.1, contains vulnerabilities that expose file system endpoints without required authentication. An attacker exploiting this flaw can perform path traversal attacks, allowing them to overwrite essential files within the openHAB instance. If a compromised file includes a shell script, it could be executed in the future, enabling potential remote code execution. Users are strongly advised to update to version 4.2.1 to mitigate these security risks.
