Because `Perms.ANY == 0` and pyLoad's permission check is a bitmask AND, that gate is a no-op: **every authenticated account passes, including one holding zero permission bits.**\n\nBoth methods are thin wrappers around `check_auth()`, which the maintainers deliberately restricted to administrators by omitting `@permission` (no entry in `perm_map`, so `is_authorized()` returns `False` for non-admins). The wrappers undo that protection.\n\nAn attacker holding the lowest-privileged account in the system therefore has a clean binary oracle on the **administrator password**, with no account lockout anywhere in the codebase, and with the 100 req/min rate limiter bypassable by rotating `X-Forwarded-For`.\n\n## Affected code\n\n`src/pyload/core/api/__init__.py:1446` and `:1464`\n\n```python\n    #: Old API\n    @permission(Perms.ANY)\n    @get\n    def getUserData(self, username: str, password: str) -> OldUserData:\n        \"\"\"\n        similar to `check_auth` but returns UserData type.\n        \"\"\"\n        user = self.check_auth(username","public_affected_ranges":[">= 0.5.0b3.dev1, <= 0.5.0b3.dev101"]}],"null_published_at":"2026-11-01T01:03:56.628Z","source_updated_at":"2026-10-09T17:09:16.000Z","source_disclosed_at":"2026-10-09T17:09:15.000Z","is_synthetic_fixture":false,"null_last_reviewed_at":null,"public_change_summary":"First indexed by Null; source disclosure date is shown separately.","null_first_observed_at":"2026-11-01T00:58:23.763Z"}],"next_cursor":null,"snapshot_revision":"42594"}
