Command execution via unsanitized ffprobe arguments
Published Feb 18, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Command injection in dottgonzo promise-probe before 0.10.0 allows remote attackers to execute host commands through crafted library arguments. The ffprobe and createMuteOgg functions concatenate attacker-controlled file, outputFile, and options values into shell command strings without safe argument handling. Exploitation requires a consuming Node.js application to pass attacker-controlled values into these functions, and injected commands run with that application's privileges.
