CVSS 3.1
5.4 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:LCVE-2026-40071
Medium (5.4) in pyload pyload. EPSS 0.2% 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 /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.
