ArchiveBox Vulnerable to RCE via unvalidated per-crawl config overrides in AddView
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The /add/ endpoint (AddView in core/views.py) accepts a config JSON field that gets merged into the crawl config without validation. This config is exported as environment variables when archive plugins run, allowing injection of arbitrary tool arguments to achieve RCE.
