AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2026-28427, organizations should immediately upgrade OpenDeck to version 2.8.1 or later, where the path traversal vulnerability is fixed. If upgrading is not immediately possible, restrict network access to port 57118 to trusted hosts only, ideally limiting it to localhost or internal networks via firewall rules or network segmentation. Implement application-layer filtering or reverse proxies that sanitize or block requests containing '../' sequences or suspicious path traversal patterns. Monitor logs for unusual requests targeting the OpenDeck service, especially those containing directory traversal payloads. Educate users about the risks of interacting with untrusted sources that might trigger malicious requests. Regularly audit file permissions and ensure the OpenDeck service runs with the least privileges necessary to limit the scope of file access. Finally, maintain an incident response plan to quickly address any suspected exploitation.

Description

OpenDeck is Linux software for your Elgato Stream Deck. Prior to 2.8.1, the service listening on port 57118 serves static files for installed plugins but does not properly sanitize path components. By including ../ sequences in the request path, an attacker can traverse outside the intended directory and read any file OpenDeck can access. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.8.1.
