Page 1 / 1In 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.
In Plex Media Server (PMS) through 1.42.2.10156, ability to access /myplex/account with a device token is not properly aligned with whether the device is currently associated with an account.
Plex Media Server (PMS) through 1.42.2.10156 allows retrieval of a permanent access token via a /myplex/account call with a transient access token.
The Media Server’s authorization tokens have a poor quality of randomness. An attacker may be able to guess the token of an active user by computing plausible tokens.
The application uses a weak password hash function, allowing an attacker to crack the weak password hash to gain access to an FTP user account.
The FTP server’s login mechanism does not restrict authentication attempts, allowing an attacker to brute-force user passwords and potentially compromising the FTP server.
The server supports authentication methods in which credentials are sent in plaintext over unencrypted channels. If an attacker were to intercept traffic between a client and this server, the credentials would be exposed.
The application fails to implement several security headers. These headers help increase the overall security level of the web application by e.g., preventing the application to be displayed in an iFrame (Clickjacking attacks) or not executing injected malicious JavaScript code (XSS attacks).
The web application is vulnerable to clickjacking attacks. The site can be embedded into another frame, allowing an attacker to trick a user into clicking on something different from what the user perceives. This could potentially reveal confidential information or allow others to take control of their computer while clicking on seemingly innocuous objects.
