Technical details

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in pyLoad due to the API's acceptance of GET requests for state-changing operations and the absence of 'SameSite: Strict' or 'SameSite: Lax' attributes on session cookies. An attacker can craft a malicious webpage that triggers an API call (e.g., /api/add_user) when visited by an authenticated administrator. Because the browser automatically includes the session cookie in the cross-site request, the API executes the command with the administrator's privileges. This can lead to full administrative takeover. The issue is fixed in version 0.5.0b3.dev78.
