Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Tautulli up to 2.16.x. Affected is some unknown functionality of the file /api/v2?cmd=get_home_stats of the component Admin API Key Handler. The manipulation of the argument section_id/user_id with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-89. The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Tautulli is a Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server. From version 2.14.2 to before version 2.17.0 for parameters "before" and "after" and from version 2.1.0-beta to before version 2.17.0 for parameters "section_id" and "user_id", the /api/v2?cmd=get_home_stats endpoint passes the section_id, user_id, before, and after query parameters directly into SQL via Python %-string formatting without parameterization. An attacker who holds the Tautulli admin API key can inject arbitrary SQL and exfiltrate any value from the Tautulli SQLite database via boolean-blind inference. This issue has been patched in version 2.17.0.
