Insufficient Input Validation in pyLoad Web Interface
CVE-2025-61773
What is CVE-2025-61773?
The web interface of pyLoad, a popular open-source download manager, is susceptible to insufficient input validation in specific functionalities, namely the Captcha script endpoint and the Click'N'Load (CNL) Blueprint. This vulnerability enables malicious users to inject arbitrary content into the application's user interface or disrupt request handling. Attackers can exploit this flaw to execute client-side code or induce other unintended behaviors by submitting crafted payloads. The failure to properly validate and sanitize user-supplied parameters before processing allows for potential exploitation, with the CNL blueprint being particularly vulnerable due to its improper handling of untrusted data. The issue has been addressed in pyLoad version 0.5.0b3.dev91.
