CVE-2024-22423

Summary

The patch that addressed CVE-2023-40581 attempted to prevent RCE when using --exec with %q by replacing double quotes with two double quotes. However, this escaping is not sufficient, and still allows expansion of environment variables.

Support for output template expansion in --exec, along with this vulnerable behavior, was added to yt-dlp in version 2021.04.11.

Patches

yt-dlp version 2024.04.09 fixes this issue by properly escaping %. It replaces them with %%cd:~,%, a variable that expands to nothing, leaving only the leading percent.

Workarounds

It is recommended to upgrade yt-dlp to version 2024.04.09 as soon as possible. Also, always be careful when using --exec, because while this specific vulnerability has been patched, using unvalidated input in shell commands is inherently dangerous.

For Windows users who are not able to upgrade:

Avoid using any output template expansion in --exec other than {} (filepath).
If expansion in --exec is needed, verify the fields you are using do not contain %, ", | or &.
Instead of using --exec, write the info json and load the fields from it instead.

Details

When escaping variables, the following code is used for Windows. yt_dlp/compat/__init__.py line 31-33

    def compat_shlex_quote(s):
        import re
        return s if re.match(r'^[-_\w./]+$', s) else s.replace('"', '""').join('""')

It replaces " with "" to balance out the quotes and keep quoting intact if non-allowed characters are included. However, the %CMDCMDLINE% variable can be used to generate a quote using %CMDCMDLINE:~-1%; since the value of %CMDCMDLINE% is the commandline with which cmd.exe was called, and it is always called with the command surrounded by quotes, %CMDCMDLINE:~-1% expands to ". After the quotes have been unbalanced, special characters are no longer quoted and commands can be executed:

%CMDCMDLINE:~-1%&calc.exe
