{"id":"CVE-2024-22416","aliases":["GHSA-pgpj-v85q-h5fm","PYSEC-2024-17"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2024-22416","summary":"Cross-Site Request Forgery on any API call in pyLoad may lead to admin privilege escalation","details":"pyLoad is a free and open-source Download Manager written in pure Python. 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. As a result any API call can be made via a CSRF attack by an unauthenticated user. This issue has been addressed in release `0.5.0b3.dev78`. All users are advised to upgrade.","published":"2024-01-17T23:48:31.422Z","modified":"2026-07-15T01:48:51.936858567Z","cvss":{"score":9.6,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":1,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"pyload-ng","fixedVersion":"0.5.0b3.dev78"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/pyload/pyload/commit/1374c824271cb7e927740664d06d2e577624ca3e","label":"pyload/pyload@1374c82"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/22xxx/CVE-2024-22416.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/pyload/pyload/security/advisories/GHSA-pgpj-v85q-h5fm"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-22416"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/pyload/pyload/commit/1374c824271cb7e927740664d06d2e577624ca3e"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/pyload/pyload/commit/c7cdc18ad9134a75222974b39e8b427c4af845fc"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-07-15T01:48:51.936858567Z"}}
