What is CVE-2024-44069?

An unauthorized access vulnerability in Pi-hole prior to version 6 allows unauthorized users to change the temperature units displayed on the web dashboard through the 'admin/api.php?setTempUnit=' endpoint. Although the vendor does not classify this as a security concern, the reasoning for allowing arbitrary changes by unprivileged users raises questions about potential misuse of this functionality.
