OpenTSDB is a open source, distributed, scalable Time Series Database (TSDB). OpenTSDB is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution vulnerability by writing user-controlled input to Gnuplot configuration file and running Gnuplot with the generated configuration. This issue has been patched in commit 07c4641471c and further refined in commit fa88d3e4b. These patches are available in the 2.4.2 release. Users are advised to upgrade. User unable to upgrade may disable Gunuplot via the config optiontsd.core.enable_ui = true and remove the shell files mygnuplot.bat and mygnuplot.sh.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
