{"id":"MGASA-2026-0234","summary":"Updated yt-dlp packages fix security vulnerabilities","details":"CVE-2026-50019 If curl is used as an external downloader for yt-dlp,\ncookies may be leaked to an unintended host upon HTTP redirect or when\nthe host for download fragments differs from their parent manifest's.\nCVE-2026-50023 A vulnerability exists in yt-dlp that allows a remote\nattacker to write arbitrary OS-shortcut files (such as .desktop, .url,\n.webloc) to the user's filesystem, bypassing the remediation for\nCVE-2024-38519.\nCVE-2026-50574 If aria2c is used as an external downloader for a\nfragmented manifest format (such as an HLS/DASH stream), yt-dlp passes\ninsufficiently sanitized input to aria2c that allows an attacker to\nperform an arbitrary file write. On Windows platforms, this can lead to\nimmediate arbitrary code execution. On non-Windows platforms, this can\nlead to arbitrary code execution upon the next invocation of yt-dlp.\nFor mageia 9 we import yt-dlp-ejs to ensure the application still works.\n","modified":"2026-07-04T06:45:04.459227430Z","published":"2026-07-04T06:38:35Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-50019","CVE-2026-50023","CVE-2026-50574"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2026-0234.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35739"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/security/advisories/GHSA-f7j3-774f-rfhj"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/security/advisories/GHSA-c6mh-fpjc-4pr3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/security/advisories/GHSA-vx4q-3cr2-7cg2"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"yt-dlp","ecosystem":"Mageia:10","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/yt-dlp?arch=source&distro=mageia-10"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.06.09-1.mga10"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2026-0234.json"}},{"package":{"name":"yt-dlp","ecosystem":"Mageia:9","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/yt-dlp?arch=source&distro=mageia-9"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2026.06.09-1.1.mga9"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2026-0234.json"}},{"package":{"name":"yt-dlp-ejs","ecosystem":"Mageia:9","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/yt-dlp-ejs?arch=source&distro=mageia-9"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.8.0-1.mga9"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2026-0234.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
