Description
Jellyfin is an open source self hosted media server. Prior to 10.11.10, a potential FFmpeg argument injection vulnerability exists in the subtitle conversion code path. SubtitleEncoder.ConvertTextSubtitleToSrtInternal (SubtitleEncoder.cs, line 382) interpolates the subtitle file path into FFmpeg command-line arguments without calling EncodingUtils.NormalizePath(). On Linux, filenames can contain double-quote characters, which break the argument quoting and allow injection of arbitrary FFmpeg arguments. The vulnerability is reachable without authentication via SubtitleController.GetSubtitle, which has no [Authorize] attribute. An attacker who can place a file in a Jellyfin media library directory (shared NAS, Samba share, guest upload) can achieve arbitrary file write on the server and information disclosure. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.11.10.
