CVE-2024-51483: Changedetection

Medium severity, CVSS 6.9. EPSS: 2.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Changedetection Changedetection: before 0.47.5 (fixed in 0.47.5)
• Dgtlmoon Changedetection.io: before 0.47.5 (fixed in 0.47.5)
