  - Active Storage makes it simple to upload and reference files in cloud services and attach those files to
    Active Record objects. Prior to 8.0.5.2 and from 8.1 until 8.1.4.1, Active Storage's
    ActiveStorage::Previewer::VideoPreviewer, ActiveStorage::Analyzer::VideoAnalyzer, and
    ActiveStorage::Analyzer::AudioAnalyzer pass uploaded blob contents to FFmpeg without restricting the
    demuxer. A direct upload can retain a client-declared video/* or audio/* content type for an HLS playlist.
    FFmpeg content probing selects the hls demuxer, which opens attacker-named file:// segments when the blob
    is previewed or analyzed. Applications that accept untrusted uploads and generate video previews or
    analyze video or audio attachments can disclose a local media file readable by the application process
    when the attacker knows its path. This issue is fixed in versions 8.0.5.2 and 8.1.4.1. (CVE-2026-126188)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
