Critical Vulnerability: CVE-2026-61826

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/

Vulnerability Snapshot

CVE-2026-61826 is rated CRITICAL — exploitation is trivial or already observed in the wild and impact is severe. Patch immediately, not on the next maintenance window.

Executive Summary

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//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

    Am I affected?

    Affected technology is listed in the Affected Products section above. If your asset inventory contains any of them, assume in-scope until you can prove otherwise.

    How urgent is the response?

    Critical: do not wait for your normal patch cycle. Verify exposure today, apply the vendor patch immediately, and add detection rules for any post-exploit indicators.

    How do I remediate?

    Apply the vendor patch listed in the upstream advisory linked under Sources. If the patch is not yet available, follow the vendor-supplied workaround (often a config flag or feature disable) and add detections for the published exploit pattern in your SIEM. Re-scan after the patch lands to confirm the finding clears.

    Where can I track exploitation activity?

    Watch CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog for CVE-2026-61826. Cross-reference with public exploit databases and your own SIEM/IDS for indicator-of-compromise patterns. Vulnios tracks KEV status automatically and surfaces it on the asset findings view.

    How does Vulnios help with this?
