Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects the parseVideoInfo function in the fileThumb plugin of kalcaddle Kodbox (up to version 1.64). Manipulating the ffmpegBin argument leads to command injection, enabling remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is present in the file /workspace/source-code/plugins/fileThumb/lib/VideoResize.class.php. The vendor was notified but has not provided a fix or response. No known exploits are reported in the wild as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
