PYSEC-2026-121

Quick fix

PYSEC-2026-121 — pyload-ng: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'pyload-ng>=0.5.0b3.dev97'

Details

pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. From version 0.5.0b3.dev13 to 0.5.0b3.dev96, the edit_package() function implements insufficient sanitization for the pack_folder parameter. The current protection relies on a single-pass string replacement of "../", which can be bypassed using crafted recursive traversal sequences. This issue has been patched in version 0.5.0b3.dev97.
