Remote code execution via ffmpeg command substitution
Published Jan 30, 2025 · Updated Feb 6, 2025
Command injection in files.photo.gallery 0.3.0 through 0.11.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted video file. The video-preview path places the user-controlled filename inside an ffmpeg shell command after escaping only double quotes, leaving command substitutions executable. Exploitation requires uploads and PHP exec to be enabled, ffmpeg in PATH, a video-like .mp4 filename containing shell syntax, and a gallery refresh that renders its thumbnail.
