Unauthenticated command execution via unsanitized VIDEO parameter
Published Jul 10, 2025 · Updated May 14, 2026
Command injection in Serviio Media Server 1.4 through 1.8 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. The checkStreamUrl method passes the unvalidated VIDEO parameter from /rest/action into cmd.exe, where shell metacharacters are interpreted as commands. The console REST API listens on port 23423 by default without access controls, so network reachability is sufficient for execution under the server process privileges.
