Summary

mpv from 0.29.0 before 0.42.0 contains a playlist injection flaw in its bundled ytdl_hook script, where improper neutralization of CRLF sequences (CWE-93) lets newlines in playlist URLs add unchecked entries. A remote attacker who controls a feed or page can bypass url_is_safe() to open file:// or av:// inputs, which can read local files or load shared objects through ladspa for code execution.
