SCA: security update for pyload-ng (GHSA-pg67-9wjv-mr85)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441089

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
 set_config_value() API method (@permission(Perms.SETTINGS)) in src/pyload/core/api/__init__.py gates
 security-sensitive options behind a hand-maintained allowlist ADMIN_ONLY_CORE_OPTIONS. The allowlist
 contains ("proxy", "username") and ("proxy", "password") — which protect the proxy credentials — but it
 does not include ("proxy", "enabled"), ("proxy", "host"), ("proxy", "port"), or ("proxy", "type"). Any
 authenticated user with the non-admin SETTINGS permission can enable proxying and point pyload at any host
 they control. From that point, every outbound download, captcha fetch, update check, and plugin HTTP call
 is transparently routed through the attacker. This is a direct continuation of the fix family
 CVE-2026-33509 / CVE-2026-35463 / CVE-2026-35464 / CVE-2026-35586, each of which patched a different
 missed option in the same allowlist. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev100. (CVE-2026-42313)

Solution

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