🔰🔰 Playing Untrusted Videos On VLC Player Could Hack Your Computer 🔰🔰
If you use VLC media player on your computer and haven't updated it recently, don't you even dare to play any untrusted, randomly downloaded video file on it.
Doing so could allow hackers to remotely take full control over your computer system.
That's because VLC media player software versions prior to 3.0.7 contain two high-risk security vulnerabilities, besides many other medium- and low-severity security flaws, that could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution attacks.

🔰🔰 VLC media player gets biggest security update ever 🔰🔰
Earlier this month, VideoLAN – the maintainers of the world’s most popular open source media player, VLC – issued the biggest single set of security fixes in the program’s history.
Numbering 33 in all, this included two marked critical, 21 mediums and 10 rated low, bringing VLC to 3.0.7.
But perhaps the most interesting part of the story is less the flaws themselves but the process through which they were found.

🔰VLC Media Player Has Critical Security Flaw: Uninstall Now!
🔰
If you still use the popular open-source VLC Media Player, you might want to uninstall it (at least for now). German security agency CERT-Bund has discovered a critical security flaw in VLC that could be used by attackers for remote code execution or cause a DDoS.
The worst part is that VideoLAN (the team behind VLC) doesn’t have a complete patch at the moment and until it rolls out one, your PC remains vulnerable.
Vulnerability in VLC Media Player
The vulnerability, described in CVE-2019-13615, reads:
“A remote, anonymous attacker can exploit a vulnerability in VLC to execute arbitrary code, create a denial of service state, disclose information, or manipulate files.”
In short, this security flaw can allow hackers to hijack your PC and go through your files.
A fix on the way
Fortunately, there have been no reports of exploitation of this flaw. WinFuture reports that Windows, Linux, and Unix versions of VLC have been affected by the security hole, but the macOS version remains safe.
Nevertheless, it totals up to a huge number of potentially vulnerable systems out there.
VideoLAN has been informed of the issue and the team is currently working on a patch. However, the patch is nearly 60% complete. We will have to wait longer for a fix.
For now, the only way to protect yourself from this flaw is to uninstall VLC and switch to alternative media players.
