CVE-2026-43986
CRITICAL Exploitation: PoC
9.9
CVSS 3.1
Description
Tautulli is a Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server. Versions prior to 2.17.1 expose a public `/image/<hash>` route that resolves attacker-controlled entries from `image_hash_lookup` and replays them through the same server-side image fetch logic used by authenticated image proxying. A low-privilege guest user can seed a malicious external image URL into this lookup table and then trigger server-side fetches through a fully unauthenticated endpoint. This turns an authenticated SSRF primitive into a persistent unauthenticated SSRF gadget. Once the malicious hash entry exists, any external user can request `/image/<hash>.png` and cause the PMS or Tautulli host to fetch an arbitrary attacker-chosen URL. Version 2.17.1 patches the issue.
