  - A vulnerability was detected in CCExtractor up to 0.96.5. Affected is the function processmp4 in the
    library src/lib_ccx/mp4.c. Performing a manipulation results in use after free. The attack is only
    possible with local access. The exploit is now public and may be used. Upgrading to version 0.96.6 is able
    to address this issue. The patch is named fd7271bae238ccb3ae8a71304ea64f0886324925. You should upgrade the
    affected component. (CVE-2026-2889)
