CVSS 3.1
6.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:NCVE-2026-42315
Medium (6.5) in pyload-ng project pyload-ng. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in pyload-ng 0.5.0b3.dev100.
pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. Prior to 0.5.0b3.dev100, when passing a folder name in the set_package_data() API function call inside the data object with key "_folder", there is no sanitization at all, allowing a user with Perms.MODIFY to specify arbitrary directories as download locations for a package. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev100.
