medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442313

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.dev100, the
 PREREQFUNCTION-based private IP check was not applied to HTTPRequest (used by the parse_urls API). An
 authenticated attacker can supply a URL pointing to an attacker-controlled server that responds with a 302
 redirect to an internal/private IP address, bypassing the is_global_host() check on the initial URL. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev100. (CVE-2026-46561)

Solution

Update the pyload-ng library and its related packages to version 0.5.0b3.dev100 or later.
