CVE-2025-62363

yt-grabber-tui allows arbitrary code execution via configurable yt-dlp path

Published Oct 13, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
yt-grabber-tui is a terminal user interface application for downloading videos. In versions before 1.0-rc, the application allows users to configure the path to the yt-dlp executable via the path_to_yt_dlp configuration setting. An attacker with write access to the configuration file or the filesystem location of the configured executable can replace the executable with malicious code or create a symlink to an arbitrary executable. When the application invokes yt-dlp, the malicious code is executed with the privileges of the user running yt-grabber-tui. This vulnerability has been patched in version 1.0-rc.
