CVE-2024-42002 is a code injection vulnerability in the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) 'ros2topic' command-line tool. It affects all ROS 2 distributions from Crystal Clemmys through Lyrical Luth and Rolling Ridley. The flaw exists in the 'hz' verb, which uses the --filter option to accept a user-supplied Python expression that is passed unsanitized to the eval() function. This allows a local user to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability has a high severity score of 8.6 (CVSS 4.0). No patch or official remediation information is provided in the available data.

A code execution vulnerability has been identified in the Robot Operating System (ROS) 'rosbag' tool, affecting ROS distributions Noetic Ninjemys and earlier. The vulnerability arises from the use of the eval() function to process unsanitized, user-supplied input in the 'rosbag filter' command. This flaw enables attackers to craft and execute arbitrary Python code.
