SCA: security update for pyload-ng (GHSA-48rp-jc79-2264)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428725

Description

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

 - pyLoad is the free and open-source Download Manager written in pure Python. In versions 0.5.0b3.dev89 and
 below, there is an opportunity for path traversal in pyLoad-ng CNL Blueprint via package parameter,
 allowing Arbitrary File Write which leads to Remote Code Execution (RCE). The addcrypted endpoint in
 pyload-ng suffers from an unsafe path construction vulnerability, allowing unauthenticated attackers to
 write arbitrary files outside the designated storage directory. This can be abused to overwrite critical
 system files, including cron jobs and systemd services, leading to privilege escalation and remote code
 execution as root. This issue is fixed in version 0.5.0b3.dev90. (CVE-2025-54802)
