CVE-2026-43986: Tautulli vulnerable to unauthenticated SSRF in /image/<hash> via attacker-seeded image hash replay
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 39/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.26% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Tautulli is a Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server. Versions prior to 2.17.1 expose a public `/image/<hash>` route that resolves attacker-controlled entries from `image_hash_lookup` and replays them through the same server-side image fetch logic used by authenticated image proxying. A low-privilege guest user can seed a malicious external image URL into this lookup table and then trigger server-side fetches through a fully unauthenticated endpoint. This turns an authenticated SSRF primitive into a persistent unauthenticated SSRF gadget. Once the malicious hash entry exists, any external user can request `/image/<hash>.png` and cause the PMS or Tautulli host to fetch an arbitrary attacker-chosen URL. Version 2.17.1 patches the issue.
