Technical details

The vulnerability is an argument injection (CWE-88) in the video upload API endpoint. The vulnerable code path is: user-supplied filename and folder parameters are insufficiently sanitized (spaces are retained), then passed unsanitized to a shell command that invokes ffprobe via string splitting. An attacker can craft a filename with shell metacharacters and arguments (e.g., `-o data`) that are interpreted as ffprobe command-line flags, allowing arbitrary file writes. The attack requires only network access and no authentication. The fix was released in version 1.6.14.
