Full Release Notes
## Fixes and improvements General * prevent code injection in case of MTX_QUERY in hooks (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5707) When MTX_QUERY is used explicitly in hooks, for instance "curl http://something/?$MTX_QUERY", it can be used to inject arbitrary commands. MTX_QUERY is now url-encoded to prevent any abuse regardless of the configuration. * use temporary redirects instead of permanent redirects (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5710) this prevents unwanted caching. HLS * prevent open redirect attacks (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5708) * support reading and writing KLV (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5604) * add hlsCDNSecret (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5716) this allows to serve HLS streams behind a CDN in a simplified way, compatible with the new HLS session system. * add public attribute to cache-control header (https://github.com/bluenviron/gohlslib/issues/349) * allow caching non-low-latency playlists (https://github.com/bluenviron/gohlslib/issues/350) WebRTC * prevent open redirect attacks (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/5708) RPI Camera * Merge request->controls instead of overwriting (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx-rpicamera/issues/97) libcamera 0.7.0 is more strict about changing controls; assignment is no longer allowed since https://github.com/raspberrypi/libcamera/commit/310cd8bc0756717cde97fe5b083926f6d6931f58 Instead, we use the merge call with overwrite. ## Security Binaries are compiled from source code by the [Release workflow](https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/actions/workflows/release.yml), which is a fully-visible process that prevents any change or external interference in produced artifacts. Checksums of binaries are also published in a public blockchain by using [GitHub Attestations](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/concepts/security/artifact-attestations), and they can be verified by running: ``` ls mediamtx_* | xargs -L1 gh attestation verify --repo bluenviron/mediamtx ``` You can verify checksums of binaries by downloading `checksums.sha256` and running: ``` cat checksums.sha256 | grep "$(ls mediamtx_*)" | sha256sum --check ```
