  "details": "CVE-2026-50019 If curl is used as an external downloader for yt-dlp,\ncookies may be leaked to an unintended host upon HTTP redirect or when\nthe host for download fragments differs from their parent manifest's.\nCVE-2026-50023 A vulnerability exists in yt-dlp that allows a remote\nattacker to write arbitrary OS-shortcut files (such as .desktop, .url,\n.webloc) to the user's filesystem, bypassing the remediation for\nCVE-2024-38519.\nCVE-2026-50574 If aria2c is used as an external downloader for a\nfragmented manifest format (such as an HLS/DASH stream), yt-dlp passes\ninsufficiently sanitized input to aria2c that allows an attacker to\nperform an arbitrary file write. On Windows platforms, this can lead to\nimmediate arbitrary code execution. On non-Windows platforms, this can\nlead to arbitrary code execution upon the next invocation of yt-dlp.\nFor mageia 9 we import yt-dlp-ejs to ensure the application still works.\n",
