pyLoad CNL Blueprint allows Path Traversal through `dlc_path` which leads to Remote Code Execution (RCE)

Path Traversal in pyLoad-ng CNL Blueprint via package parameter allows Arbitrary File Write leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE) The addcrypted endpoint in pyload-ng suffers from an unsafe path construction vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary files outside the designated storage directory. This can be abused to overwrite critical system files, including cron jobs and systemd services, leading to privilege escalation and remote code execution as root.

`pyLoad` has Path Traversal Vulnerability in `json/upload` Endpoint that allows Arbitrary File Write

An authenticated path traversal vulnerability exists in the /json/upload endpoint of the pyLoad By manipulating the filename of an uploaded file, an attacker can traverse out of the intended upload directory, allowing them to write arbitrary files to any location on the system accessible to the pyLoad process. This may lead to: Remote Code Execution (RCE) Local Privilege Escalation System-wide compromise Persistence and backdoors

pyLoad vulnerable to XSS through insecure CAPTCHA

An unsafe JavaScript evaluation vulnerability in pyLoad’s CAPTCHA processing code allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the client browser and potentially the backend server. Exploitation requires no user interaction or authentication and can result in session hijacking, credential theft, and full system rce.

Duplicate Advisory: GHSA-x698-5hjm-w2m5

Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-x698-5hjm-w2m5. This link is maintained to preserve external references. Original Description Any unauthenticated attacker can bypass the localhost restrictions posed by the application and utilize this to create arbitrary packages

pyLoad vulnerable to remote code execution by download to /.pyload/scripts using /flashgot API

The folder /.pyload/scripts has scripts which are run when certain actions are completed, for e.g. a download is finished. By downloading a executable file to a folder in /scripts and performing the respective action, remote code execution can be achieved. A file can be downloaded to such a folder by changing the download folder to a folder in /scripts path and using the /flashgot API to download the file.

URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')

pyLoad is an open-source Download Manager written in pure Python. There is an open redirect vulnerability due to incorrect validation of input values when redirecting users after login. pyLoad is validating URLs via the get_redirect_url function when redirecting users at login. This vulnerability has been patched with commit fe94451.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')

pyLoad is the free and open-source Download Manager written in pure Python. A log injection vulnerability was identified in pyload allowing any unauthenticated actor to inject arbitrary messages into the logs gathered by pyload. Forged or otherwise, corrupted log files can be used to cover an attacker’s tracks or even to implicate another party in the commission of a malicious act. This vulnerability has been patched in version 0.5.0b3.dev77.

Improper Access Control

pyLoad is the free and open-source Download Manager written in pure Python. Any unauthenticated user can browse to a specific URL to expose the Flask config, including the SECRET_KEY variable. This issue has been patched in version 0.5.0b3.dev77.
