CVE-2024-24683: Apache Hop Engine: ID isn't escaped when generating HTML

[Hans Van Akelyen <hansva () apache org>]

Severity: low

Affected versions:

- Apache Hop Engine before 2.8.0

Description:

Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache Hop Engine.This issue affects Apache Hop Engine: before 2.8.0.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.8.0, which fixes the issue.

When Hop Server writes links to the PrepareExecutionPipelineServlet page one of the parameters provided to the user was 
not properly escaped.
The variable not properly escaped is the "id", which is not directly accessible by users creating pipelines making the 
risk of exploiting this low.

This issue only affects users using the Hop Server component and does not directly affect the client.
