CVE-2024-22416: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

January 19, 2024

pyLoad is a free and open-source Download Manager written in pure Python. The pyload API allows any API call to be made using GET requests. Since the session cookie is not set to SameSite: strict, this opens the library up to severe attack possibilities via a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack. As a result any API call can be made via a CSRF attack by an unauthenticated user. This issue has been addressed in release 0.5.0b3.dev78. All users are advised to upgrade.
