Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Argument Injection via the ParseStreamOptions method. An attacker can access arbitrary files on the server and exfiltrate their contents by injecting malicious arguments into the StreamOptions query parameter, which are then concatenated into the ffmpeg command line without proper validation. This allows reading sensitive files such as /etc/shadow and returning their contents in the video stream response. This is only exploitable if an attacker can obtain a valid item GUID, which typically requires an authenticated user.
