Updated Apr 10, 2026
Python
Parameter Value
CVSS 5.4 (MEDIUM)
Fixed In 0.5.0
Type CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization)
Vendor Python
Public PoC No

pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. Prior to 0.5.0b3.dev97, the /json/package_order, /json/link_order, and /json/abort_link WebUI JSON endpoints enforce weaker permissions than the core API methods they invoke. This allows authenticated low-privileged users to execute MODIFY operations that should be denied by pyLoad's own permission model.

This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev97.
