How broadly exploitable is this vulnerability?

Exploitability is limited to contexts where an attacker can provide a payload that the standalone encoder accepts and processes into an ffmpeg command. In typical deployments, this is exposed via encoder APIs or integrations that handle user-submitted media or job definitions.

Does an attacker need authenticated access to exploit this?

That depends on how the encoder endpoints are exposed. If the encoder API requires authenticated or trusted communication from the main platform, an attacker must first obtain that level of access or compromise the integration. The key requirement is the ability to submit a valid encrypted payload that influences the ffmpeg command construction.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The most robust approach is to stop passing user-influenced values through a shell command string. Instead, invoke ffmpeg using APIs that pass arguments as separate array elements so the shell is never invoked, and validate allowed options against a fixed schema or whitelist before execution.
