CVE-2026-33482: AVideo has an OS Command Injection via $() Shell Substitution Bypass in sanitizeFFmpegCommand()
The sanitizeFFmpegCommand() function in plugin/API/standAlone/functions.php is designed to prevent OS command injection in ffmpeg commands by stripping dangerous shell metacharacters (&&, ;, |, `, <, >). However, it fails to strip $() (bash command substitution syntax). Since the sanitized command is executed inside a double-quoted sh -c context in execAsync(), an attacker who can craft a valid encrypted payload can achieve arbitrary command execution on the standalone encoder server.
