Official Description

pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. Prior to 0.5.0b3.dev100, the PREREQFUNCTION-based private IP check was not applied to HTTPRequest (used by the parse_urls API). An authenticated attacker can supply a URL pointing to an attacker-controlled server that responds with a 302 redirect to an internal/private IP address, bypassing the is_global_host() check on the initial URL. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev100.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-46561 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
