Machine-written summary

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

Affected: pyload-ng versions up to and including 0.5.0b3.dev101, with no fixed version listed. An attacker who holds a session belonging to a user whose privileges were revoked, or whose password was changed, through the REST API can keep using that session. The session still carries the old role and permissions, so the user can still reach admin-only functions such as changing configuration options. Sessions in the WebUI form handlers are invalidated correctly, but the REST API endpoints for these changes do not invalidate them. No fix is listed, so a workaround is not described here.
