CVE-2026-41133: pyLoad has Stale Session Privilege After Role/Permission Change (Privilege Revocation Bypass)
(updated )
pyLoad caches role and permission in the session at login and continues to authorize requests using these cached values, even after an admin changes the user’s role/permissions in the database.
As a result, an already logged-in user can keep old (revoked) privileges until logout/session expiry, enabling continued privileged actions.
This is a core authorization/session-consistency issue and is not resolved by toggling an optional security feature.
