### Summary If aria2c is used as an external downloader for a fragmented manifest format (such as an HLS/DASH stream), yt-dlp passes insufficiently sanitized input to aria2c that allows an attacker to perform an arbitrary file write. On Windows platforms, this can lead to…

### Summary A vulnerability exists in yt-dlp that allows a remote attacker to write arbitrary OS-shortcut files (such as `.desktop`, `.url`, `.webloc`) to the user's filesystem, bypassing the remediation for `CVE-2024-38519`. ### Details The fix for `CVE-2024-38519` enforced…
