An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-0488 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- pyload-ng (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev42\n- pyload-ng (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev42\n- pyload-ng (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev42\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0488/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0488/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-0488","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0488/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-0488","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wcm6-wv95-7jw6","PYSEC-2026-907"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"pyload download manager","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Stored XSS in pyload allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"@huntrdev","cpe":[{"product":"pyload-ng","vendor":"pyload-ng_project"},{"product":"pyload","vendor":"pyload"}],"cvss":{"score":9.6,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in GitHub repository pyload/pyload prior to 0.5.0b3.dev42.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in pyload/pyload","id":"CVE-2023-0488","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"SlideOnline \u003c= 1.2.1 - Contributor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-0489"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.5.0b3.dev42"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"pyload-ng","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-wcm6-wv95-7jw6"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.5.0b3.dev42"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"pyload-ng","purl":"pkg:pypi/pyload-ng","source":"GHSA-wcm6-wv95-7jw6"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.5.0b3.dev42"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"pyload-ng","purl":"pkg:pypi/pyload-ng","source":"PYSEC-2026-907"}],"prev":{"headline":"My Sticky Elements \u003c 2.0.9 - Admin+ SQLi","id":"CVE-2023-0487"},"products":["pyload/pyload"],"published":"2023-01-26","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"pyLoad CNL Blueprint is vulnerable to Path Traversal through `dlc_path` leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE)","id":"CVE-2025-54802","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-05"},{"cvss_score":9.7,"headline":"Cross-Site Request Forgery on any API call in pyLoad may lead to admin privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2024-22416","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-17"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"pyLoad has SSRF fix bypass via HTTP redirect","id":"CVE-2026-35459","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-06"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"pyLoad has Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command","id":"CVE-2026-35463","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-07"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"pyload-ng: Authentication Bypass via Host Header Injection in ClickNLoad","id":"CVE-2026-33511","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-24"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"pyload-ng: non-admin SETTINGS users can redirect all outbound traffic through an attacker-controlled proxy","id":"CVE-2026-42313","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-31","vendors":["pyload"]},"summary":"Stored XSS in pyload allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0488/"}
