Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Versions up to and including 0.5.0b3.dev96 of pyLoad (PyPI package pyload-ng) are affected, and no fixed version is listed. A user with SETTINGS permission, who is not an admin, can change the AntiVirus plugin's executable path, which the software runs with subprocess.Popen(), allowing remote code execution. The advisory also describes a related arbitrary file read through the storage_folder setting. Since no fix is listed, restrict SETTINGS permission to trusted admin users.
