## Impact
An attacker can read files of etc/passwd or other contents.Also what I've seen it is possible to escalate this vulnerability to SSRF(https://www.blackhat.com/docs/us-16/materials/us-16-Ermishkin-Viral-Video-Exploiting-Ssrf-In-Video-Converters.pdf).Since I don't have any server I couldn't test :(
