CVE-2024-51483

Vendor unknownProduct mapping pending

changedetection.io is free, open source web page change detection software. Prior to version 0.47.5, when a WebDriver is used to fetch files, `source:file:///etc/passwd` can be used to retrieve local system files, where the more traditional `file:///etc/passwd` gets blocked. Version 0.47.5 fixes the issue.

Assessment

changedetection.io before 0.47.5 can disclose local files when WebDriver processes a source:file:// URL that bypasses traditional file:// blocking. CVSS is 6.9 and EPSS is 0.02274; no exploitation evidence is supplied.

Why it matters

  • An unauthenticated network path can expose files readable by the WebDriver process.
  • Sensitive local configuration or credentials could be disclosed.

Evidence

1 record references and 1 source references passed trusted post-response validation. The current deterministic record contains 0 independent evidence groups.

Uncertainties

Whether WebDriver fetching is enabled and externally reachable is unknown.

Readable-file scope, public exploitation, and first-party observation are unknown.

First-party honeypot request semantics are potentially consistent with this CVE. This is an unconfirmed candidate match, not proof of exploitation or successful execution.

Next watchpoint

changedetection.io versions below 0.47.5 using WebDriver.
