CVE-2020-35476 (GCVE-0-2020-35476)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2020-12-16 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-04 17:02Summary
A remote code execution vulnerability occurs in OpenTSDB through 2.4.0 via command injection in the yrange parameter. The yrange value is written to a gnuplot file in the /tmp directory. This file is then executed via the mygnuplot.sh shell script. (tsd/GraphHandler.java attempted to prevent command injections by blocking backticks but this is insufficient.)
