Unauthenticated command execution via extra scripts
Published Jan 30, 2026 · Updated Jan 30, 2026
OS command injection in midgetspy Sick Beard 0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands through its HTTP interface. The unauthenticated config/hidden/saveHidden endpoint stores attacker-controlled extra_scripts values, which home/postprocess/processEpisode executes during manual episode processing. Authentication is disabled by default, and commands run with the privileges of the Sick Beard process.
