CVE-2026-61826 Details
Description
Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr and Radarr. Prior to 1.5.7-beta.14, the `api_ns_plex` namespace in `bazarr/api/plex/oauth.py` omits `@authenticate` on its Resource handlers, while normal APIs require an API key and no global authentication hook compensates. Anonymous callers can invoke `POST /api/plex/oauth/logout` to clear credentials and disable the integration, or `POST /api/plex/apikey` to persist an attacker-selected key, without a PIN, account or state precondition. `POST /api/plex/oauth/pin` and `GET /api/plex/oauth/pin/<pin_id>/check` additionally allow an attacker who completes a PIN with an attacker-controlled Plex account to bind that account's token to the instance. `PlexPinCheck` skips state validation when `state_param` is absent and merely logs a mismatch without stopping execution. `POST /api/plex/select-server`, `POST /api/plex/oauth/servers`, `POST /api/plex/webhook/create`, `POST /api/plex/webhook/delete` and `POST /api/plex/encrypt-apikey` expose further `write_config()` operations. Attacker-controlled server URLs feed later outbound requests carrying the configured API key in `X-Plex-Token`, enabling server-side request forgery and credential exposure in addition to persistent configuration tampering and integration denial of service. Version 1.5.7-beta.14 closes the anonymous API-mutation path by adding authentication; complete OAuth state validation is not established and remains a separate residual for curator review.
A vulnerability exists in Bazarr versions prior to 1.5.7-beta.14, specifically within the Plex OAuth API namespace. This namespace is entirely unauthenticated, allowing anonymous users to invoke several API endpoints that can tamper with persistent configuration and take over the Plex integration. The vulnerability arises because the API endpoints do not require authentication, unlike most other Bazarr API routes. As a result, an attacker can disable the Plex integration, clear associated credentials, and manipulate configuration settings without any preconditions.
Users can update to Bazarr version 1.5.7-beta.14 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. Instructions for updating can be found in the Bazarr documentation.
