Plex users were urged two months ago to install the latest version of the self-hosted media streaming software after several vulnerabilities were discovered, according to a report by HotHardware.

Warning sent to self-hosted users

The security warning reached Plex users roughly two months ago, according to HotHardware. It called on people running the self-hosted media streaming software to upgrade to the newest release once several vulnerabilities had come to light.

HotHardware's report is the only source for these details in the material available, so the account rests on that single outlet's reporting.

Open questions

  • Which specific vulnerabilities were found in the Plex software?
  • Have any attacks exploiting these flaws been confirmed?
