"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2024:1138 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-22423:
    yt-dlp is a youtube-dl fork with additional features and fixes. The patch that addressed CVE-2023-40581
    attempted to prevent RCE when using `--exec` with `%q` by replacing double quotes with two double quotes.
    However, this escaping is not sufficient, and still allows expansion of environment variables. Support for
    output template expansion in `--exec`, along with this vulnerable behavior, was added to `yt-dlp` in
    version 2021.04.11. yt-dlp version 2024.04.09 fixes this issue by properly escaping `%`. It replaces them
    with `%%cd:~,%`, a variable that expands to nothing, leaving only the leading percent. It is recommended
    to upgrade yt-dlp to version 2024.04.09 as soon as possible. Also, always be careful when using `--exec`,
    because while this specific vulnerability has been patched, using unvalidated input in shell commands is
    inherently dangerous. For Windows users who are not able to upgrade, avoid using any output template
    expansion in `--exec` other than `{}` (filepath); if expansion in `--exec` is needed, verify the fields
    you are using do not contain ``, `|` or `&`; and/or instead of using `--exec`, write the info json and
    load the fields from it instead.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
