Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2026-96652 in the wild since at least 20 Oct 2026.\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-2026-96652/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96652/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-96652","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96652/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-96652","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5p7w-r379-3c2m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Plex Media Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can force the Plex Media Server to send POST requests to arbitrary destinations via the timeline endpoint, potentially accessing internal resources.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"ssrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisa-cg","cpe":[{"product":"media_server","vendor":"plex"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-918","name":"Server-Side Request Forgery"}],"description":"Plex Media Server before 1.43.3.10861 allows SSRF via '/player/timeline'.
