ETK-2026-3520Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.description
Affected Active Storage releases can pass untrusted upload filenames to external media or image processors in a way that influences decoder selection. In applications that accept untrusted uploads and analyze media, create video previews, or use ImageMagick, this may expose files readable by the application and, in certain AviSynth-enabled FFmpeg deployments, may permit code execution in the FFmpeg process.
mitigation
Upgrade activestorage to 8.1.4.1 or 8.0.5.2. Until upgraded, disable Active Storage video previewing and audio/video analysis for untrusted uploads, and restrict untrusted upload processing where possible.
fixed in 8.1.4.1, 8.0.5.2
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
