SCA: security update for org.openhab.ui.bundles:org.openhab.ui.cometvisu (GHSA-v7gr-mqpj-wwh3)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419158

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, the proxy endpoint of openHAB's CometVisu add-on can be accessed
 without authentication. This proxy-feature can be exploited as Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) to
 induce GET HTTP requests to internal-only servers, in case openHAB is exposed in a non-private network.
 Furthermore, this proxy-feature can also be exploited as a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability, as an
 attacker is able to re-route a request to their server and return a page with malicious JavaScript code.
 Since the browser receives this data directly from the openHAB CometVisu UI, this JavaScript code will be
 executed with the origin of the CometVisu UI. This allows an attacker to exploit call endpoints on an
 openHAB server even if the openHAB server is located in a private network. (e.g. by sending an openHAB
 admin a link that proxies malicious JavaScript.) This issue may lead up to Remote Code Execution (RCE)
 when chained with other vulnerabilities. Users should upgrade to version 4.2.1 of the CometVisu add-on of
 openHAB to receive a patch. (CVE-2024-42467)
