GHSA-rfgh-63mg-8pwm: pyload-ng has a WebUI JSON permission mismatch that lets ADD/DELETE users invoke MODIFY-only actions

Several WebUI JSON endpoints enforce weaker permissions than the core API methods they invoke. This allows authenticated low-privileged users to execute MODIFY operations that should be denied by pyLoad’s own permission model.

Confirmed mismatches:

  • ADD user can reorder packages/files (order_package, order_file) via /json/package_order and /json/link_order
  • DELETE user can abort downloads (stop_downloads) via /json/abort_link
