CVE-2026-44353
Description
A flaw was found in Streamlink. Its HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) and DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) parsers do not properly validate the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) scheme of segment entries. A remote attacker could craft a malicious HLS playlist or DASH manifest to include local file paths. If a user opens such a crafted playlist or manifest, Streamlink would read the specified local file and write its contents to the output stream, leading to information disclosure.
