Plex vulnerabilities exploited in the wild to install cryptominer
Original: Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer
Attackers are actively exploiting security flaws in Plex media servers to compromise systems and deploy a cryptocurrency miner. The report describes how unpatched servers are being targeted in real-world attacks rather than just in lab conditions. Admins running self-hosted Plex servers are being urged to update their installations promptly, as the flaw allows remote code execution that can be silently used to hijack computing power for mining.
Why now: Widespread self-hosted Plex servers are an attractive, easy target, and active exploitation raises urgency for admins to patch.
