Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The pyload-ng package, versions >=0.5.0b3.dev1 through <=0.5.0b3.dev101, exposes the getUserData and get_userdata API methods to every authenticated account, including accounts with no permission bits, when they should be limited to administrators. An attacker with any valid account can use these methods to brute-force the administrator password, since there is no account lockout and the rate limit can be bypassed by rotating the X-Forwarded-For header. No fixed version is listed.
