Description Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2023-11-14 23:35:43 UTC
Fixed version already in-tree, pending stable+cleanup.

CVE-2023-46121:
The Generic Extractor in yt-dlp is vulnerable to an attacker setting an arbitrary proxy for a request to an arbitrary url, allowing the attacker to MITM the request made from yt-dlp's HTTP session. This could lead to cookie exfiltration in some cases.
