## Description

mpv through 0.28.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via acrafted web site, because it reads HTML documents containing VIDEOelements, and accepts arbitrary URLs in a src attribute without a protocolwhitelist in player/lua/ytdl_hook.lua. For example, anav://lavfi:ladspa=file= URL signifies that the product should call dlopenon a shared object file located at an arbitrary local pathname. The issueexists because the product does not consider that youtube-dl can provide apotentially unsafe URL.
