CVE-2024-44069 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.47% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
