"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- Streamlink is a CLI utility which pipes video streams from various services into a video player. Prior to
8.6.0, HTTPSession mounts a FileAdapter for the file scheme and inherits redirect handling from
requests.Session without rejecting cross-protocol redirects. A remote server controlling an HTTP or HTTPS
URL reached by Streamlink can return a redirect to a local file URL, causing HTTPSession to read the local
file and return its contents to the response consumer. This bypasses the direct file URL checks added for
HLS and DASH content because the manifest contains an ordinary network URL and the scheme transition
occurs later during fetch handling. The flaw applies to every request made through HTTPSession, and a
segment fetch can place the local file contents into stream output. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.0.
(CVE-2026-92164)
