{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-116612","details":"A flaw was found in GStreamer Editing Services (gst-editing-services). A GES project file can embed an arbitrary GStreamer pipeline description as an effect definition. When such a file is loaded, either explicitly by an editing application or automatically by a media player or file-manager thumbnailing service that uses GStreamer autoplugging, the pipeline description is parsed and instantiated without restriction on which elements may be used or which properties may be set. A remote attacker who can deliver a crafted project file to a victim's system can trigger reading or writing of arbitrary local files, issue outbound network requests to attacker-controlled servers, or cause the application to crash. Under certain conditions the file-write capability may be leveraged to achieve code execution.","modified":"2026-10-28T20:17:45.838491535Z","published":"2026-10-26T17:17:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-116612"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-116612"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-116612"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/commit/0fe199f7a1199769af39eb71ede70f221d3d43ea"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/12647"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/work_items/5255"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/security/sa-2026-0090.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/cve-2026-116612"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"gstreamer-editing-services1.0","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/gstreamer-editing-services1.0?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.4.0-2","1.6.0-1","1.6.1-1","1.6.2-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"ges1.0-tools","binary_version":"1.6.2-1"},{"binary_version":"1.6.2-1","binary_name":"gir1.2-ges-1.0"},{"binary_name":"libges-1.0-0","binary_version":"1.6.2-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-116612.json"}},{"package":{"name":"gstreamer-editing-services1.0","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/gstreamer-editing-services1.0?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.12.3-1","1.12.4-1","1.13.1-1","1.13.91-1","1.14.0-1","1.14.1-1~ubuntu18.04.1","1.14.4-1~ubuntu18.04.1","1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.1","binary_name":"ges1.0-tools"},{"binary_version":"1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.1","binary_name":"gir1.2-ges-1.0"},{"binary_name":"libges-1.0-0","binary_version":"1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-116612.json"}},{"package":{"name":"gstreamer-editing-services1.0","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/gstreamer-editing-services1.0?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.16.1-1","1.16.2-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"ges1.0-tools","binary_version":"1.16.2-2"},{"binary_version":"1.16.2-2","binary_name":"gir1.2-ges-1.0"},{"binary_name":"libges-1.0-0","binary_version":"1.16.2-2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-116612.json"}},{"package":{"name":"gstreamer-editing-services1.0","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/gstreamer-editing-services1.0?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.18.5-1","1.18.5-1build2","1.18.5-1build3","1.20.0-1","1.20.0-2","1.20.1-1","1.20.1-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"ges1.0-tools","binary_version":"1.20.1-2"},{"binary_name":"gir1.2-ges-1.0","binary_version":"1.20.1-2"},{"binary_name":"libges-1.0-0","binary_version":"1.20.1-2"},{"binary_name":"python3-ges-1.0","binary_version":"1.20.1-2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-116612.json"}},{"package":{"name":"gstreamer-editing-services1.0","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/gstreamer-editing-services1.0?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.22.0-2","1.22.8-1","1.24.1-1","1.24.1-1build1","1.24.2-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"ges1.0-tools","binary_version":"1.24.2-1"},{"binary_name":"gir1.2-ges-1.0","binary_version":"1.24.2-1"},{"binary_version":"1.24.2-1","binary_name":"libges-1.0-0"},{"binary_name":"python3-ges-1.0","binary_version":"1.24.2-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-116612.json"}},{"package":{"name":"gstreamer-editing-services1.0","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/gstreamer-editing-services1.0?arch=source&distro=stonking"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.28.2-1","1.28.3-1","1.28.4-1","1.28.5-1","1.28.6-1","1.28.7-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"ges1.0-tools","binary_version":"1.28.7-1"},{"binary_name":"gir1.2-ges-1.0","binary_version":"1.28.7-1"},{"binary_name":"libges-1.0-0","binary_version":"1.28.7-1"},{"binary_name":"python3-ges-1.0","binary_version":"1.28.7-1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBU
