CVE-2024-22416: Cross-Site Request Forgery on any API call in pyLoad may lead to admin privilege escalation
(updated )
The pyload API allows any API call to be made using GET requests. Since the session cookie is not set to SameSite: strict, this opens the library up to severe attack possibilities via a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack. This proof of concept shows how an unauthenticated user could trick the administrator’s browser into creating a new admin user.
