SCA: security update for org.openhab.ui.bundles:org.openhab.ui.cometvisu (GHSA-f729-58x4-gqgf)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414344

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- openHAB, a provider of open-source home automation software, has add-ons including the visualization add-
on CometVisu. Prior to version 4.2.1, CometVisu's file system endpoints don't require authentication and
additionally the endpoint to update an existing file is susceptible to path traversal. This makes it
possible for an attacker to overwrite existing files on the openHAB instance. If the overwritten file is a
shell script that is executed at a later time, this vulnerability can allow remote code execution by an
attacker. Users should upgrade to version 4.2.1 to receive a patch. (CVE-2024-42469)
