DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw has been found in zackees transcribe-anything up to 4.1.0. Affected is the function ytdlp_download of the file src/transcribe_anything/ytldp_download.py of the component Yt-dlp Download. This manipulation of the argument url causes os command injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The attack's complexity is rated as high. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been published and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in zackees/transcribe-anything (versions up to 4.1.0) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands by supplying a crafted URL argument to the ytdlp_download function in src/transcribe_anything/ytldp_download.py. The CVSS 4.0 score is 2.9 - low - primarily because attack complexity is rated High, meaning exploitation requires specific conditions to align rather than trivial one-shot delivery. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Supply crafted URL with shell metacharacters
Exploit
Reach ytdlp_download function with unsanitized input
Execution
Trigger OS command injection in shell invocation
Impact
Execute arbitrary commands as the process user

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that attacker-controlled input reaches the `url` argument of the `ytdlp_download` function without prior sanitization - meaning the application must expose this function to external or untrusted input, such as through a web endpoint, API, or CLI invoked with user-supplied arguments. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Despite the CWE-78 classification, which typically signals high severity, the aggregate risk signals are mixed and should be interpreted carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who can supply a URL argument to the `ytdlp_download` function - for example, via a web interface or API that passes user input directly into the function - crafts a URL containing embedded shell metacharacters such as `; id #` or `$(whoami)`. Because the function does not sanitize the input before constructing the OS command, the injected payload executes in the context of the process running transcribe-anything. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - the project maintainer was notified via GitHub issue #137 but has not responded. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
