    Command Injection

    yt-dlp is an A youtube-dl fork with additional features and patches

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the function parse_cmd in the class ExecPP, which the --exec process on Windows uses with the default placeholder. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands by supplying a crafted filepath that is insufficiently sanitized.

    Note: Users should always be careful when using --exec, because using unvalidated input in shell commands is inherently dangerous.

    How to fix Command Injection?

    Upgrade yt-dlp to version 2025.7.21 or higher.
