Unauthenticated SSRF via spoofed Host header
Published Mar 24, 2026 · Updated Mar 24, 2026
Origin validation error in pyLoad before 0.5.0b3.dev97 allows remote attackers to queue arbitrary downloads through Click'N'Load. The @local_check decorator in cnl_blueprint.py trusts the user-controlled HTTP Host header when deciding whether protected API requests originate locally. Exploitation requires an externally reachable instance with the disabled-by-default ClickNLoad plugin enabled; successful requests force outbound fetches or consume storage and bandwidth.
