Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-33509 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- pyload-ng (PyPI): affected from 0.4.0 up to 0.5.0b3.dev96; no fix listed\n- pyload-ng (PyPI): affected from 0.4.0 up to 0.5.0b3.dev96; no fix listed\n- pyload-ng (PyPI): affected from 0.4.0 up to 0.5.0b3.dev96; no fix listed\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-2026-33509/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-33509/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-33509","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-33509/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-33509","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r7mc-x6x7-cqxx","PYSEC-2026-2996"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"pyLoad download manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Users with SETTINGS permission can achieve remote code execution by modifying the unrestricted reconnect script configuration in pyLoad.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"pyload-ng","vendor":"pyload-ng_project"},{"product":"pyload","vendor":"pyload"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. From version 0.4.0 to before version 0.5.0b3.dev97, the set_config_value() API endpoint allows users with the non-admin SETTINGS permission to modify any configuration option without restriction. The reconnect.script config option controls a file path that is passed directly to subprocess.run() in the thread manager's reconnect logic. A SETTINGS user can set this to any executable file on the system, achieving Remote Code Execution. The only validation in set_config_value() is a hardcoded check for general.storage_folder — all other security-critical settings including reconnect.script are writable without any allowlist or path restriction.
