Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

CVE-2024-22416

High
8.8/10

Summary

The Python module 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 vulnerability affects pyload-ng package versions prior to 0.5.0b3.dev78.

CWE-352 - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is a vulnerability that allows an attacker to make arbitrary requests in an authenticated vulnerable web application and disrupt the integrity of the victim’s session. The impact of a successful CSRF attack may range from minor to severe, depending upon the capabilities exposed by the vulnerable application and privileges of the user. An attacker may force the user to perform state-changing requests like transferring funds, changing their email address or password etc. However, if an administrative level account is affected, it may compromise the whole web application and associated sensitive data.
