## Summary

mcp-ffmpeg (through version 1.0.5, without version numbers in output) is affected, specifically its resize-video, extract-audio, and get-video-info tools. An attacker who supplies a specially crafted video or output directory name can execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the MCP server user.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- bitscorp-mcp mcp-ffmpeg: through 1.0.5

## Description

mcp-ffmpeg through 1.0.5 contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows attackers to run shell commands by supplying crafted videoPath or outputDir values to the resize-video, extract-audio and get-video-info tools. Attackers can embed $(), backticks or a closing double quote in an existing file or directory name to break out of the child_process.exec command string and execute commands as the MCP server user.
