Plex Media Server before 1.43.3.10861 allows an admin user to write arbitrary files that may be executed on load. The preference TranscoderH264Options is appended verbatim to x264's option string on every transcode. At startup, all .so files are run without signature, execute bit, or symbol checks.

Plex Media Server (PMS) 1.41.7.x through 1.42.0.x before 1.42.1 is affected by incorrect resource transfer between spheres because /myplex/account provides the credentials of the server owner (and a /api/resources call reveals other servers accessible by that server owner).

Path Traversal
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N

Plex Media Server before 1.43.3.10861 builds a file path from the url parameter without checking it for ../ sequences, allowing path traversal via '/system/agents/media/get'. A remote attacker with a valid session token could read any file that the target user can access. This access includes the PlexOnlineToken, which grants control of the Plex account and server. A LAN-adjacent attacker with a client-supplied X-Forwarded-For header could exploit the same issue.
