Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection due to improper handling of MPV functionality in flashcards. The MPV component processes user-supplied flashcard content with insufficient sanitization, enabling crafted inputs to execute arbitrary scripts on Windows systems. An attacker can exploit this by distributing a specially crafted flashcard to a userresulting in arbitrary code execution within the user's context, potentially leading to full system compromise.
