AI risk analysis
- Summary
- Bazarr's Plex OAuth API namespace lacks authentication on several endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to clear credentials, inject arbitrary API keys, bind attacker-controlled Plex accounts via PIN, and tamper with configuration, leading to credential theft, SSRF, and integration denial of service.
- Exploitability
- Exploitation requires only network access to the Bazarr instance and knowledge of the affected endpoints; no authentication, PIN, or prior state is required for most actions.
- Blast radius
- Successful exploitation allows full compromise of the Bazarr-Plex integration, including credential theft via SSRF, persistent configuration tampering, and denial of service by disabling the integration.
- Detection
- Look for unauthenticated POST requests to /api/plex/oauth/logout, /api/plex/apikey, /api/plex/oauth/pin, /api/plex/select-server, /api/plex/oauth/servers, /api/plex/webhook/create, /api/plex/webhook/delete, or /api/plex/encrypt-apikey endpoints in web server access logs; also monitor for unexpected changes to Bazarr configuration files (e.g., config.yaml) or anomalous outbound requests containing X-Plex-Token headers to external domains.
- Prioritized remediation
- Upgrade to Bazarr version 1.5.7-beta.14 or later, which adds authentication to the affected endpoints and implements proper OAuth state validation.

NVD 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.
