CVE-2026-75520 Details
Description
Domoticz is a free, open source home automation system for Linux, Windows, macOS, and Raspberry Pi. Prior to 2026.3, the `udevices` JSON command handler, `Cmd_UpdateDevices` in `main/WebServerCmds.cpp`, performed no `session.rights` check before invoking a Lua parser script, while its sibling command handlers gate access by role. A low-privilege authenticated user could trigger execution of an existing operator-installed Lua parser script with attacker-controlled input through the `GET /json.htm` endpoint with `type=command` and `param=udevices`. The `script` parameter also lacked a `..` path-traversal guard: `CLuaHandler::executeLuaScript` in `main/LuaHandler.cpp` constructed the filename from the parser directory and the supplied script name before passing it to `luaL_loadfile`. Execution is limited to already-installed valid Lua files; this is not arbitrary code execution, and the advisory states that file-write and upload paths require administrator privileges. This issue is addressed in version 2026.3.
A vulnerability in Domoticz versions prior to 2026.3 allows low-privilege authenticated users to execute operator-installed Lua scripts via the udevices JSON command handler. The vulnerability arises because the handler does not perform a session rights check before invoking the Lua parser, unlike its sibling command handlers. Exploitation can be achieved by sending a request to the GET /json.htm endpoint with type=command, param=udevices, and a script parameter containing the name of the Lua file to be executed. Additionally, the udevices handler lacks a path-traversal guard, allowing potential manipulation of the script execution context.
Users can upgrade to Domoticz version 2026.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
