Pi-hole broken access control

7.5 HIGHPublic exploitEPSS 0.47%
  1. Published19 Aug 2024

Description

Pi-hole before 6 allows unauthenticated admin/api.php?setTempUnit= calls to change the temperature units of the web dashboard. NOTE: the supplier reportedly does "not consider the bug a security issue" but the specific motivation for letting arbitrary persons change the value (Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin), seen by the device owner, is unclear.
