remotion-dev remotion v4.0.409 was discovered to contain an arbitrary file write vulnerability.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file write in remotion-dev Remotion v4.0.409 allows remote attackers to write attacker-controlled content to arbitrary filesystem locations without authentication, per the CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and CWE-123 (Write-what-where) classification. Remotion is a React-based programmatic video rendering framework, and the flaw can lead to integrity and availability compromise of the host running the rendering engine. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score of 0.15% (4th percentile) indicates low predicted exploitation likelihood despite the high CVSS score.
Technical ContextAI
Remotion is a JavaScript/Node.js framework from remotion-dev that lets developers build videos using React components and renders them via a headless browser/server pipeline. CWE-123 (Write-what-where Condition) describes a class of bug where an attacker can control both the destination path and the content of a write operation - in a Node/Remotion context this typically arises from unsanitized path inputs flowing into fs.writeFile, output asset paths, or render output destinations that fail to constrain writes to an intended directory (path traversal via '../' or absolute paths). The CPE entry is generic ('cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a') so the affected component within Remotion is not enumerated by NVD; the GitHub advisory referenced is the only public source detailing the affected code path.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the supplied data does not name a fixed Remotion release. Defenders should monitor the remotion-dev GitHub repository and the advisory at https://github.com/EaEa0001/security-advisories/blob/main/CVE-2026-30121.md for a patched version above 4.0.409, and upgrade as soon as one is published. As compensating controls, do not expose Remotion's render server or studio to untrusted networks (bind to localhost or place behind authenticated reverse proxy), validate and canonicalize any user-supplied output path or filename before passing it to render APIs and reject paths containing '..' or absolute prefixes, run the Remotion process under a low-privilege OS user with write access only to a dedicated output directory (e.g., via a chroot, container with read-only root filesystem, or AppArmor/SELinux profile), and enable filesystem auditing on the render host to detect writes outside the intended output directory - note the trade-off that strict path validation may break legitimate workflows that rely on dynamic output locations.
