Date Published: 2024-01-23

QID 996778: Python (Pip) Security Update for pyload-ng (GHSA-pgpj-v85q-h5fm)

The pyload API allows any API call to be made using GET requests. Since the session cookie is not set to SameSite: strict, this opens the library up to severe attack possibilities via a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack. This proof of concept shows how an unauthenticated user could trick the administrator's browser into creating a new admin user.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
