SCA: security update for pyload-ng (GHSA-rfgh-63mg-8pwm)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477493

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
 /json/package_order, /json/link_order, and /json/abort_link WebUI JSON endpoints enforce weaker
 permissions than the core API methods they invoke. This allows authenticated low-privileged users to
 execute MODIFY operations that should be denied by pyLoad's own permission model. This vulnerability is
 fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev97. (CVE-2026-40071)

Solution

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