CVE-2024-51998
changedetection.io is a free open source web page change detection tool. The validation for the file URI scheme falls short, and results in an attacker being able to read any file on the system. This issue only affects instances with a webdriver enabled, and `ALLOW_FILE_URI` false or not defined. The check used for URL protocol, `is_safe_url`, allows `file:` as a URL scheme. It later checks if local files are permitted, but one of the preconditions for the check is that the URL starts with `file://`. The issue comes with the fact that the file URI scheme is not required to have double slashes. This issue has been addressed in version 0.47.06 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

"value": "changedetection.io es una herramienta de detección de cambios de páginas web de código abierto y gratuita. La validación del esquema de URI de archivo no es la adecuada y hace que un atacante pueda leer cualquier archivo del sistema. Este problema solo afecta a las instancias con un controlador web habilitado y con `ALLOW_FILE_URI` falso o no definido. La comprobación utilizada para el protocolo URL, `is_safe_url`, permite `file:` como esquema de URL. Más adelante, comprueba si se permiten archivos locales, pero una de las condiciones previas para la comprobación es que la URL comience con `file://`. El problema surge del hecho de que no se requiere que el esquema de URI de archivo tenga barras dobles. Este problema se ha solucionado en la versión 0.47.06 y se recomienda a todos los usuarios que actualicen. No existen workarounds para esta vulnerabilidad."
