SCA: security update for pyload-ng (GHSA-pgpj-v85q-h5fm)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417518

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - 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. (CVE-2024-22416)

Solution

Update the pyload-ng library and its related packages to version 0.5.0b3.dev78 or later.
