CVE-2026-29778
HIGH7.1EPSS 0.02%pyLoad has an Arbitrary File Write via Path Traversal in edit_package()
Published: 3/5/2026Modified: 5/20/2026
Description
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.
Affected packages (2)
- PyPI/pyload-ng>= 0.5.0b3.dev13, <= 0.5.0b3.dev96
- PyPI/pyload-ng>= 0.5.0b3.dev13, < 0.5.0b3.dev97
