Description
mpv 0.29.0 before 0.42.0 contains a playlist injection vulnerability in the bundled ytdl_hook script that allows remote attackers to add unchecked entries by embedding newlines in playlist URLs. Attackers controlling a feed or page can bypass url_is_safe() to open file:// or av:// inputs, reading local files or loading shared objects via ladspa for code execution.
