The unsanitized filename is interpolated into a shell command executed via Process::fromShellCommandline() before the slugify() sanitizer runs, enabling injected shell metacharacters such as backticks, $(), and semicolons to escape the FFmpeg command context and execute as the web-server user.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `cockpit_cms <= 2.14.0`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":49,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":48.4,"likelihood":0.6,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
