          "value": "xidown (a yt-dlp/ffmpeg GUI wrapper) builds its yt-dlp command-line invocation (xidown/core/scanner.py and downloader.py) by appending the user-provided or scanned URL as a bare trailing positional argument, with no \u0027--\u0027 end-of-options marker and no scheme validation anywhere in the codebase. Because yt-dlp parses any argument beginning with \u0027-\u0027 as a CLI option rather than link text, a crafted \u0027URL\u0027 value such as -U (yt-dlp\u0027s self-update flag) or --exec=... is parsed as a real yt-dlp option instead of a URL, altering the tool\u0027s control flow before its own URL validation runs. Full code execution via --exec was not demonstrated in the single-URL flow tested, but the underlying argument-injection primitive is confirmed and unmitigated across all call sites."
