Unfortunately currently it still rely on this PHP passthru function, the reason this PHP passthru is required is because it allows PHP scripts to interact with command line script, so 3rd party program like ffmpeg is able to be executed and run to compress the uploaded videos.

In my opinion, you need to double check these 2 things :

1. Ensure that your site directory folder/files ownership set the correct chmod permission if you have allow different user access your site directory folder.

2. Have to take note for those 3rd party extension which allow user to upload the file on the site, because some of the hacker will write a PHP script into the file, so most of the extension will validate the file whether that is valid file and whether have contain any script code inside.

Ok thks for reply Arlex.
