What it is

Audiobookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook and podcast server. Prior to 2.32.2, the podcast creation endpoint at server/controllers/PodcastController.js accepts a user-controlled file path without sufficient boundary validation to ensure it remains within the intended library directory. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.32.2.
