[Verse 1] Candle's low, I'm close to the mic, let me whisper this alarm, SiteGuard Server Edition's locked, but the lock's got a flaw in the arm, CVE twenty-six, one-oh-six-nine-three-one, write it down slow, Command injection — feeding bad text where clean orders should go, An attacker slips a sentence past the fence, dressed as routine, System obeys, hands over root, the deepest throne machine, Root or SYSTEM, total keys, the whole kingdom unlocked, One bad string and the guard dog sleeps while the vault gets walked. [Chorus] These are the critical few, October twenty-first, pay attention, Plex and SiteGuard both got named, I gotta mention, Not every crack is loud, some just creep through the seam, Patch it before the quiet knock becomes a scream. [Verse 2] Now hush, let's talk Plex, the server holding your films, Ninety-six, six-five-six, a crack in how it handles helms, External control of file name or path, that's the name of the game, An admin's trust gets twisted, told to write files under a false claim, Drop a file where the loader looks, dressed like it belongs, Execute on load — next thing you know it's singing foreign songs, Chain it right, this door connects to deeper rooms inside, One careless save and the whole house got nowhere left to hide. [Chorus] These are the critical few, October twenty-first, pay attention, Plex and SiteGuard both got named, I gotta mention, Not every crack is loud, some just creep through the seam, Patch it before the quiet knock becomes a scream. [Verse 3] Last one, still Plex, ninety-six, six-five-five on the sheet, Server-side request forgery, sneaky, polite, discreet, A logged-in user asks the server, "fetch this link for me," Through slash-video-transcode-universal, that's the gateway, see, Server's promiscuous — too willing, it won't refuse a request, Reaches inside your network's ribs, probes what should stay undressed, Internal boxes, hidden ports, the places no stranger should roam, Now the server's a messenger, carrying thieves straight home. [Bridge] Legerdemain — that's sleight of hand, a conjurer's clever disguise, Bad commands wear good clothes, sneaking right past your eyes, No score was handed to me, no word yet they're run wild, But privileges like root and SYSTEM don't play, don't stay mild, Update SiteGuard, patch your Plex, check twice before you sleep, Small bugs in big places still reach root, still cut deep. [Chorus] These are the critical few, October twenty-first, pay attention, Plex and SiteGuard both got named, I gotta mention, Not every crack is loud, some just creep through the seam, Patch it before the quiet knock becomes a scream. [Outro] Three names, one date, write them soft, write them true, One-oh-six-nine-three-one, six-five-six, six-five-five too, Close the laptop gentle, but don't you close your eyes, The quietest exploits come dressed in the sweetest disguise.
