SCA: security update for pyload-ng (GHSA-ppvx-rwh9-7rj7)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440007

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 Python. Prior to 0.5.0b3.dev97, the
 ADMIN_ONLY_CORE_OPTIONS authorization set in set_config_value() uses incorrect option names ssl_cert and
 ssl_key, while the actual configuration option names are ssl_certfile and ssl_keyfile. This name mismatch
 causes the admin-only check to always evaluate to False, allowing any user with SETTINGS permission to
 overwrite the SSL certificate and key file paths. Additionally, the ssl_certchain option was never added
 to the admin-only set at all. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev97. (CVE-2026-35586)

Solution

Update the pyload-ng library and its related packages to version 0.5.0b3.dev97 or later.
