Server-Side Request Forgery and Open Redirect in AllTube Download

CVE-2022-24739 → View on GitHub ↗ View on CVE.org ↗ View on NVD ↗

Description

Impact

On releases prior to 3.0.3, an attacker could craft a special HTML page to trigger either an open redirect attack or a Server-Side Request Forgery attack (depending on how AllTube is configured).

The impact is mitigated by the fact the SSRF attack is only possible when the stream option is enabled in the configuration. (This option is disabled by default.)

Patches

3.0.3 contains a fix for this vulnerability.
(The 1.x and 2.x releases are not maintained anymore.)

The fix requires applying a patch to youtube-dl to disable its generic extractor. If you are using the version of youtube-dl bundled with 3.0.3, it is already patched.
However, if you are using your own unpatched version of youtube-dl you might still be vulnerable.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
Availability (A:L)
Might cause slowdowns, glitches, or partial disruption—not a full brick.
