Description of your pull request and other information

This PR adds validation of file extensions processed by yt-dl

  1. against a white-list of expected extensions (unpublicised --no-check-extensions disables this, CLI only)
  2. to exclude path separators in a site-supplied extension that could enable path traversal under vulnerable OSes (Windows, eg).

The PR is derived from https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp-ghsa-79w7-vh3h-8g4j/pull/1.

@dirkf saving a video file without an extension is a practice which may be used for having a format-agnostic filename. this change breaks multiple scripts with this behavior. please consider reverting the behavior to allow no extension

Please open a support issue showing an example with verbose log and explaining what you think should happen instead.

Possible work-arounds for CLI:

  • use --exec ... to rename away an unwanted extension
  • use --no-check-extensions

For API, try similar approaches to that in e15101c (__init__.py) or the equivalent in yt-dlp (_UnsafeExtensionError.sanitize_extension = lambda x, **kw: x).
