MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Credential Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires (1) network reachability to MoviePilot v2 prior to v2.13.2, (2) a valid authenticated session on MoviePilot sufficient to obtain a resource_token cookie (PR:L per CVSS), (3) a request to the /api/v1/system/img-proxy endpoint with a URL whose hostname matches an entry in the assembled allowed_domains set - either via a literal internal IP that is itself in the allowlist (e.g., a configured Jellyfin/Emby/Plex backend at 192.168.x.x) or via a hostname that resolves into a non-global address. Limiting factors: the image proxy will not fetch entirely arbitrary domains - the target must clear the existing domain-membership check, which in practice means it must coincide with allowlisted media-server endpoints, so unrestricted SSRF to any internet host is not the primary primitive. Authentication is required, narrowing exposure to instances with shared, leaked, or self-registered accounts; no user interaction is needed once a token is held. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N yields 7.7 (High) and is internally consistent with the description: network reach, low complexity, requires low-privileged authentication (the resource_token cookie any logged-in user can mint), no user interaction, scope change as the server reaches into a separate security authority (the internal network), and high confidentiality impact via data exfiltration. The flaw is not in CISA KEV and EPSS is not provided in the input, so real-world exploitation pressure is unquantified; with a vendor advisory from VulnCheck and a public commit diff plus regression tests, weaponization barriers are low even though no public exploit is identified at time of analysis. Practical risk is highest for MoviePilot instances deployed on shared LANs with other *arr/media stacks, where the SSRF maps cleanly onto valuable internal targets; risk is reduced by the PR:L requirement, which means an attacker must first obtain or coerce an authenticated session. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with any low-privilege MoviePilot account obtains a valid resource_token cookie, then issues a request to the image proxy with a URL whose hostname matches a permitted domain but resolves to (or literally is) an internal IP such as http://192.168.1.50:8096 (a Jellyfin instance), http://127.0.0.1:32400 (Plex), or http://169.254.169.254/ (cloud metadata). The server fetches the URL and returns the response body, enabling enumeration and data exfiltration from internal services that would otherwise be unreachable. The vendor's own regression tests demonstrate exactly these primitives, so a working PoC is essentially derivable from the commit diff. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 29, 2026
Server-side request forgery in MoviePilot v2's image proxy endpoint (/api/v1/system/img-proxy) allows authenticated attackers holding a valid resource_token cookie to coerce the server into fetching arbitrary internal URLs. The flaw stems from SecurityUtils.is_safe_url performing domain-membership checks without blocking private, loopback, or link-local IPs, letting attackers enumerate co-hosted media services such as Jellyfin, Emby, and Plex and exfiltrate internal data. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the upstream patch and vendor-published advisory clearly document the attack path.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to MoviePilot v2.13.2 or later (https://github.com/jxxghp/MoviePilot/releases/tag/v2.13.2), which introduces the block_private=True path through SecurityUtils.is_safe_url so that hostnames resolving to private, loopback, or link-local addresses are refused even when their domain is on the allowlist. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict reachability of the /api/v1/system/img-proxy endpoint at a reverse proxy (deny external POSTs/GETs to that path or require an additional auth layer), rotate or invalidate resource_token cookies issued to untrusted users, and place MoviePilot in an egress-restricted network namespace that blocks outbound traffic to RFC1918, 127.0.0.0/8, and 169.254.0.0/16 - note that namespace-level egress filtering will also break any legitimate proxying to co-hosted media servers on the same LAN, so verify integrations afterward. Review the VulnCheck advisory and GitHub issue #5823 for additional indicators.

Technical ContextAI · show details
MoviePilot is a self-hosted media automation/aggregation tool (cpe:2.3:a:jxxghp:moviepilot) commonly deployed alongside Jellyfin, Emby, or Plex on home/lab networks. The vulnerable code path is the FastAPI fetch_image endpoint in app/api/endpoints/system.py, which proxies arbitrary URLs after a call to SecurityUtils.is_safe_url in app/utils/security.py. The root cause is a classic CWE-918 (SSRF) pattern: the allowlist validator only compared the parsed hostname against an assembled domain set and never resolved the hostname to an IP nor inspected the resulting address class, so DNS entries or literal IPs pointing at RFC1918, 127.0.0.0/8, 169.254.0.0/16, or other non-global ranges that happened to be in the allowlist (or that resolved into it) would be approved. The patch adds a block_private flag and a new _is_global_hostname helper that uses ipaddress and socket.getaddrinfo to reject any host whose resolution yields a non-global address.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
MoviePilot v2 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the image proxy endpoint that allows authenticated attackers to request arbitrary URLs by supplying a resource_token cookie and a URL whose domain matches the assembled allowlist. Attackers can bypass internal network protections because the SecurityUtils.is_safe_url function performs only domain-membership checking without blocking private, loopback, or link-local addresses, enabling enumeration of internal services such as Jellyfin, Emby, or Plex and exfiltration of data from internal network resources.

Executive ViewAI
MoviePilot v2 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in its image proxy endpoint that allows authenticated attackers to bypass domain validation controls and exfiltrate data from co-hosted media services. Organizations running MoviePilot v2 alongside Jellyfin, Emby, or Plex face risk of unauthorized internal service enumeration and data breach through a legitimately-authenticated access vector.
