Potential Command Injection in codem-transcode
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | codem-transcode | < 0.5.0 | 0.5.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
When the ffprobe functionality is enabled on the server, HTTP POST requests can be made to /probe. These requests are passed to the ffprobe binary on the server. Through this HTTP endpoint it is possible to send a malformed source file name to ffprobe that results in arbitrary command execution.
### Mitigating Factors:
The ffprobe functionality is not enabled by default. In addition, exploitation opportunities are limited in a standard configuration because the server binds to the local interface by default.
## Recommendation
An updated and patched version of the module (version 0.5.0) is available via npm. Users who have enabled the ffprobe functionality are especially encouraged to upgrade..
