Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Pyload-ng versions up to and including 0.5.0b3 are affected. A non-admin user with both the SETTINGS and ADD permissions can change the storage folder to a location outside the restricted paths, where Flask session files are kept, and plant a malicious pickle file there. When any HTTP request arrives carrying the matching session cookie, the file is deserialized and arbitrary code runs as the pyload service user, with no authentication needed for that final step. No fix is listed; the source suggests adding storage_folder to the admin-only options.
