Description

pyLoad is a free and open-source download manager written in Python. Versions before 0.5.0b3.dev97 are vulnerable to path traversal during password verification of certain encrypted 7z archives (encrypted files with non-encrypted headers), causing arbitrary file deletion outside of the extraction directory. During password verification, pyLoad derives an archive entry name from 7z listing output and treats it as a filesystem path without constraining it to the extraction directory. This issue has been fixed in version 0.5.0b3.dev97.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
