pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. Prior to 0.5.0b3.dev102, an authenticated non-admin user with the SETTINGS permission can configure WindowsPhoneNotify through /json/save_config by setting pushurl, pushid, and enabled. WindowsPhoneNotify.send in src/pyload/plugins/addons/WindowsPhoneNotify.py then uses http.client.HTTPConnection without pyLoad's pycurl destination validation. When a download completes, the global notification event causes a blind POST from the pyLoad server to the attacker-selected internal host, port, and path. The response is not returned, but the request can probe internal services, reach cloud metadata endpoints, or trigger state-changing internal HTTP endpoints. This issue is fixed in version 0.5.0b3.dev102.

Show the promptExplain CVE-2026-123814 for an engineer deciding whether to act. Use https://cve.bz/api/public/cves/CVE-2026-123814?via=ask-ai-copy and https://cve.bz/cve/CVE-2026-123814?via=ask-ai-copy as the source of truth: what is affected and which versions fix it, whether it is in CISA KEV, public exploits, and its EPSS (an internet-wide 30-day estimate of exploitation activity, not a forecast for my systems). If they give no fixed versions, use the CVE record https://cveawg.mitre.org/api/cve/CVE-2026-123814 or the vendor advisory, not third-party mirrors. Tell me how to check whether I am affected and how to verify a fix. Cite the sources and say where they are uncertain.
