🚨 Rapid Response: Four vulnerabilities in Plex Media Server can be chained to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution. Plex reports compromised servers being used to run cryptocurrency miners and proxy software.

Censys ARC observes ~340,000 Internet-exposed Plex Media Server hosts. Roughly 30% run a vulnerable build, and nearly 8,000 run an early build that may be mistaken for patched.

Despite publication of the exploit chain and reports of exploitation, fewer than 2% of still-vulnerable hosts upgraded in the following three days.
Plex advises that previously exposed, unpatched servers may already be compromised and require additional remediation beyond patching.

Internet-exposed AI infrastructure grew 63% in just nine months.

That's an increase from 164,000 to more than 267,000 exposures, according to the 2026 Censys State of the Internet Report.

In this clip from Censys ARC Flash Episode 6, Senior Security Researcher @himajedi explains why this rate of growth stands out against other technologies exposed to the public Internet.
