{"cve":"CVE-2026-42312","nvd":{"published":"2026-05-11T18:16:34.833","modified":"2026-06-17T10:47:40.630","status":"Analyzed","description":"pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. Prior to 0.5.0b3.dev100, the set_config_value() API method (@permission(Perms.SETTINGS)) in src/pyload/core/api/__init__.py gates security-sensitive options behind a hand-maintained allowlist ADMIN_ONLY_CORE_OPTIONS. The option (\"general\", \"ssl_verify\") is not on that allowlist. Any authenticated user with the non-admin SETTINGS permission can set general.ssl_verify = off, and every subsequent outbound pycurl request is made with SSL_VERIFYPEER=0 and SSL_VERIFYHOST=0 — TLS peer and hostname verification are fully disabled. An on-path attacker can then present forged certificates for any hostname pyload fetches. This is a direct continuation of the fix family CVE-2026-33509 / CVE-2026-35463 / CVE-2026-35464 / CVE-2026-35586, each of which patched a different missed option in the same allowlist. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev100.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","score":6.8},"cwes":["CWE-295","CWE-306","CWE-863"],"references":["https://github.com/pyload/pyload/security/advisories/GHSA-ccxc-x975-4hh9","https://github.com/pyload/pyload/security/advisories/GHSA-ccxc-x975-4hh9"],"products":["pyload-ng_project:pyload-ng"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:55.586217763+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-42312","score":0.00174,"percentile":0.06864,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-ccxc-x975-4hh9","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-ccxc-x975-4hh9","summary":"pyload-ng: non-admin SETTINGS users can disable outbound TLS peer verification via unrestricted `ssl_verify` config (incomplete fix for CVE-2026-33509 / -35463 / -35464 / -35586)","modified":"2026-06-08T20:00:12.132284752Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"pyload-ng","purl":"pkg:pypi/pyload-ng","ranges":["<0.5.0b3.dev100"],"fixed":["0.5.0b3.dev100"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-126","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-126","summary":"","modified":"2026-05-20T09:19:15.952431Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"pyload-ng","purl":"pkg:pypi/pyload-ng","ranges":["<0.5.0b3.dev100"],"fixed":["0.5.0b3.dev100"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
