Machine-written summary

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

Versions 0.5.0b3.dev98 through 0.5.0b3.dev101 of the pyLoad package pyload-ng are affected, and no fixed version is listed. An admin who revokes or downgrades a non-admin user's permissions through the API's set_user_permission call does not invalidate that user's existing login session. The demoted user can keep using their old session cookie, with the old permissions, for up to about 31 days or until they log out. No workaround is listed in the source, so the advisory's suggested fix is to clear sessions inside set_user_permission itself.
