AzuraCast Vulnerable to Liquidsoap Code Injection via Incomplete cleanUpString-to-toRawString Migration in Remote Relay Password Field
## Summary The `cleanUpString()` method in `ConfigWriter.php` uses an ungreedy regex to strip Liquidsoap string interpolation patterns (`#{...}`) from user input. This regex can be bypassed via nested interpolation syntax (`#{#{EXPR}}`), allowing injection of arbitrary Liquidsoap code. Commit `ff49ef4` migrated most user-controlled fields to the sa...
