pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. Prior to 0.5.0b3.dev100, package folder names are sanitized using insufficient string replacement. The pattern ....// becomes .._ after replacement (partial removal), leaving .. which can be exploited when the path is later resolved by the OS. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.5.0b3.dev100.
Add your gear to cvedb and we'll alert you only when pyload-ng_project ships something exploited.
