Over 36,000 Plex Media servers exposed online remain unpatched against multiple security vulnerabilities and are vulnerable to attacks.
Plex urged users a week ago to secure their media servers immediately against security issues that still lack CVE IDs for easy tracking.
While the company didn't provide additional details on Tuesday when it issued the warning, these security flaws are known to affect Plex Media Server v1.43.2 and earlier.
Those running affected versions are advised to secure their systems as soon as possible by upgrading Plex Media Server installations to version 1.43.3 (released on May 19) and their Plex Desktop clients to 1.115.0 (released on August 13), which can be downloaded from the server management page or the official downloads page.
"We recently released Plex Media Server 1.43.3 and Plex Desktop 1.115.0 to address a number of security issues. We recommend all server owners and Desktop users update to the latest version as soon as possible," Plex said.
