SCA: security update for pyload-ng (GHSA-vq8p-m3wm-gv5f)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474038

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.dev101, the API
 `rpc` function in `api_blueprint.py` handles `multipart/form-data` uploads by reading the whole content of
 the uploaded file into memory with `file.read()`. This occurs before the data is sent to the underlying
 function. Since there is no size limit set at this point, a large file upload can exhaust the server's
 available memory which led to process termination. Version 0.5.0b3.dev101 contains a patch.
 (CVE-2026-48484)

Solution

Update the pyload-ng library and its related packages to version 0.5.0b3.dev101 or later.
