CVE-2026-35032 — Jellyfin: Potential SSRF + Arbitrary file read via LiveTV M3U tuner
Jellyfin is an open source self hosted media server. Versions prior to 10.11.7 contain a vulnerability chain in the LiveTV M3U tuner endpoint (POST /LiveTv/TunerHosts), where the tuner URL is not validated, allowing local file read via non-HTTP paths and Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via HTTP URLs. This is exploitable by any authenticated user because the EnableLiveTvManagement permission defaults to true for all new users. An attacker can chain these vulnerabilities by adding an M3U tuner pointing to an attacker-controlled server, serving a crafted M3U with a channel pointing to the Jellyfin database, exfiltrating the database to extract admin session tokens, and escalating to admin privileges. This issue has been fixed in version 10.11.7. If users are unable to upgrade immediately, they can disable Live TV Management privileges for all users.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.4% (30-day exploitation probability)+4
- Technical severity (high)+6
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.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
- Documented mitigation — 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.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Jellyfin Jellyfin).
- Apply the documented mitigations until a definitive fix is available.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.
Affected scope
Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-35032 is "Jellyfin: Potential SSRF + Arbitrary file read via LiveTV M3U tuner", rated High. It affects Jellyfin (Jellyfin); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 8.1 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.38% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
