Summary
yt-dlp is a feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader. In versions 2025.06.25 and below, when the --exec option is used on Windows with the default placeholder (or {}), insufficient sanitization is applied to the expanded filepath, allowing for remote code execution. This is a bypass of the mitigation for CVE-2024-22423 where the default placeholder and {} were not covered by the new escaping rules. Windows users who are unable to upgrade should avoid using --exec altogether. Instead, the --write-info-json or --dump-json options could be used, with an external script or command line consuming the JSON output. This is fixed in version 2025.07.21.

En las versiones 2025.06.25 y anteriores, al usar la opci\u00f3n --exec en Windows con el marcador de posici\u00f3n predeterminado (o {}), la ruta de archivo expandida no se depura lo suficiente, lo que permite la ejecuci\u00f3n remota de c\u00f3digo. Esto evita la mitigaci\u00f3n de CVE-2024-22423, donde el marcador de posici\u00f3n predeterminado y {} no estaban cubiertos por las nuevas reglas de escape. Los usuarios de Windows que no puedan actualizar deber\u00edan evitar usar --exec. En su lugar, podr\u00edan usar las opciones --write-info-json o --dump-json, con un script externo o una l\u00ednea de comandos que consume la salida JSON. Esto se solucion\u00f3 en la versi\u00f3n 2025.07.21."
