An issue was discovered in Plex Media Server through 1.24.4.5081-e362dc1ee. An attacker (with a foothold in a endpoint via a low-privileged user account) can access the exposed RPC service of the update service component. This RPC functionality allows the attacker to interact with the RPC functionality and execute code from a path of his choice (local, or remote via SMB) because of a TOCTOU race condition. This code execution is in the context of the Plex update service (which runs as SYSTEM).
Improper Input Validation in Plex Media Server on Windows allows a local, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary Python code with SYSTEM privileges.
Tautulli versions 2.1.38 and below allows remote attackers to bypass intended access control in Plex Media Server because the X-Plex-Token is mishandled and can be retrieved from Tautulli. NOTE: Initially, this id was associated with Plex Media Server 1.18.2.2029-36236cc4c as the affected product and version. Further research indicated that Tautulli is the correct affected product.
