    Directory Traversal

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

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Directory Traversal in the prepend_extension() function, when downloading files using the --write-subs, --write-auto-subs, --all-subs or --write-srt options to include subtitles. An attacker can inject a path traversal string into the sub_format parameter, which is interpolated into a string in certain extractors without checks or sanitization. By convincing a user to follow a link preloaded with a malicious parameter value an attacker can write arbitrary files, which may later be executed on the target system.

    Note: This vulnerability is only exploitable on Windows.

    How to fix Directory Traversal?

    Upgrade yt-dlp to version 2024.7.1 or higher.
