CVE-2024-47821Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via writable event-script directory

Published Oct 25, 2024 · Updated Oct 28, 2024

Remote code execution in pyLoad before 0.5.0b3.dev87 allows remote authenticated users to run arbitrary code through /flashgot. The settings API accepts a storage folder inside the user-data tree, letting /flashgot place an executable in an event-hook directory that pyLoad later runs. Settings-level access and executable-download permissions are required; successful exploitation runs code with the pyLoad process account.
