Tautulli vulnerabilities

Tautulli is a Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server. Versions prior to 2.17.1 expose `configUpdate` as a state-changing administrator endpoint, but the route does not enforce `POST` and does not use any anti-CSRF token. In the default form and JWT-based authentication mode, the administrator session cookie is issued with `SameSite=Lax`, which still permits top-level cross-site navigation requests. An attacker can exploit this by luring a logged-in administrator to a malicious page that submits a cross-site request to `/configUpdate` and overwrites the local administrator username and password. The attacker can then sign in directly with the chosen credentials and take over the Tautulli administrative interface. Version 2.17.1 patches the issue.

Tautulli is a Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server. Versions prior to 2.17.1 expose `log_js_errors` to any authenticated user, including guest users when guest access is enabled. The endpoint writes attacker-controlled strings directly into the main application log. The administrator-only `logFile` view then reads that log file and embeds it into an HTML response without escaping. This creates a stored cross-site scripting condition where a low-privilege guest can inject HTML or JavaScript into the log file and have it execute in an administrator's browser when the log viewer is opened. Version 2.17.1 patches the issue.

Tautulli is a Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server. Versions prior to 2.17.1 are vulnerable to remote code execution via the newsletter custom template directory feature. On a fresh install before the setup wizard is completed, all management endpoints are completely unauthenticated. An attacker can create a newsletter agent, point the custom template directory to an attacker-controlled SMB share serving a malicious Mako template, and trigger execution via the newsletter render endpoint, all with zero credentials and no local access to the target system. On a completed install with credentials configured, the same chain is exploitable by any admin. Version 2.17.1 fixes the issue.

Tautulli is a Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server. Prior to version 2.17.0, the /newsletter/image/images API endpoint is vulnerable to path traversal, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the application server's filesystem. This issue has been patched in version 2.17.0.
