CVSS 3.1
6.8 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:NCVE-2026-35586
Medium (6.8) in pyload-ng project pyload-ng. EPSS 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in pyload-ng 0.5.0b3.dev97.
pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. Prior to 0.5.0b3.dev97, the ADMIN_ONLY_CORE_OPTIONS authorization set in set_config_value() uses incorrect option names ssl_cert and ssl_key, while the actual configuration option names are ssl_certfile and ssl_keyfile. This name mismatch causes the admin-only check to always evaluate to False, allowing any user with SETTINGS permission to overwrite the SSL certificate and key file paths. Additionally, the ssl_certchain option was never added to the admin-only set at all. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev97.
