CVE-2026-35459: pyLoad: SSRF filter bypass via HTTP redirect in BaseDownloader (Incomplete fix for CVE-2026-33992)

April 4, 2026 (updated April 6, 2026)

The fix for CVE-2026-33992 (GHSA-m74m-f7cr-432x) added IP validation to BaseDownloader.download() that checks the hostname of the initial download URL. However, pycurl is configured with FOLLOWLOCATION=1 and MAXREDIRS=10, causing it to automatically follow HTTP redirects. Redirect targets are never validated against the SSRF filter.

An authenticated user with ADD permission can bypass the SSRF fix by submitting a URL that redirects to an internal address.
