CVE-2025-69417

Plex Media Server before version 0.9.9.3 allows remote attackers to bypass the web server whitelist, conduct SSRF attacks, and execute arbitrary administrative actions via multiple crafted X-Plex-Url headers to system/proxy, which are inconsistently processed by the request handler in the backend web server.

Plex Media Server before 1.43.3.10861 allows an admin user to write arbitrary files that may be executed on load. The preference TranscoderH264Options is appended verbatim to x264's option string on every transcode. At startup, all .so files are run without signature, execute bit, or symbol checks.

Plex Media Server before 1.43.3.10861 allows an authenticated user to request arbitrary internal or external addresses via the '/video/:/transcode/universal' path parameter.

Plex Media Server before 1.43.3.10861 does not correctly neutralize URL values included in 'searchOne,' allowing an attacker to call other plugins' functions and supply their own parameters.

Plex Media Server before 1.43.3.10861 allows SSRF via '/player/timeline'. An attacker using any X-Plex-Token value can include a full URL in the 'protocol' parameter and force the Plex server to POST to the attacker's chosen destination.

Plex Media Server before 1.43.3.10861 suffers from path traversal in '/system/agents/media/get' due to insufficient validation of the url parameter. An attacker with a valid session token can read arbitrary files accessible to the server user, including the PlexOnlineToken that grants full control.

In the plex.tv backend for Plex Media Server (PMS) through 2025-12-31, a non-server device token can retrieve other tokens (intended for unrelated access) via clients.plex.tv/devices.xml.
