CVE-2026-27793 — Seerr has Broken Object-Level Authorization in User Profile Endpoint that Exposes Third-Party Notification Credentials

Seerr is an open-source media request and discovery manager for Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby. Prior to version 3.1.0, the `GET /api/v1/user/:id` endpoint returns the full settings object for any user, including Pushover, Pushbullet, and Telegram credentials, to any authenticated requester regardless of their privilege level. This vulnerability can be exploited alone or combined with the reported unauthenticated account creation vulnerability, CVE-2026-27707. When combined, the two vulnerabilities create a zero-prior-access chain that leaks third-party API credentials for all users, including administrators. Version 3.1.0 contains a fix for both this vulnerability and for CVE-2026-27707.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.4% (30-day exploitation probability)+5
  • Technical severity (medium)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

  • Documented patch — github.com (NIST National Vulnerability Database)

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Seerr Seerr, Seerr-team Seerr).
  2. Apply the fixed version or the patch documented under Remediation.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (access control), errors and authentication anomalies.
