An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-5742 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Plex Media Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5742/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5742/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-5742","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5742/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-5742","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p5rm-fx86-wv2f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Plex Media Server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute cross-origin requests against Plex Media Server due to improper access control, potentially bypassing security restrictions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tenable","cpe":[{"product":"media_server","vendor":"plex"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Improper Access Control in Plex Media Server prior to June 15, 2020 allows any origin to execute cross-origin application requests.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Plex Media Server","id":"CVE-2020-5742","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in TCExam","id":"CVE-2020-5743"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Plex Media Server Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-5741"},"products":["Plex Media Server"],"published":"2020-06-15","related":[{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Plex Media Server External Control of File Name or Path","id":"CVE-2026-96656","kev_date_added":"2026-10-20","published":"2026-09-23"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Plex Media Server Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-5741","kev_date_added":"2023-03-10","published":"2020-05-08"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Plex Media Server Improper Neutralization of Encoded URI Schemes in a Web Page","id":"CVE-2026-96654","kev_date_added":"2026-10-20","published":"2026-09-23"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Plex Media Server Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2026-96652","kev_date_added":"2026-10-20","published":"2026-09-23"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Plex Media Server Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2026-96655","kev_date_added":"2026-10-20","published":"2026-09-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-13415","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute cross-origin requests against Plex Media Server due to improper access control, potentially bypassing security restrictions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-5742/"}
