Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Plex Media Server, scene eighty-four,
CVE ninety-six-six-five-four,
Encoded URI schemes sneak through the door,
Neutralization fails, that's the core.
Attacker calls on a plugin's hidden string,
Feeds it their own parameters, lets it sing,
Legerdemain — that's trickery dressed up fine,
Sleight of hand coded, crossing every line.
Web page trusts a link it should deny,
Plugin functions triggered, nobody asks why,
One sly encoded scheme, that's all it takes,
Borrowed permissions, phantom handshakes.

[Chorus]
October twenty-third, the feed won't rest,
Plex and Siemens failing every test,
Patch your server, patch it fast,
These critical flaws won't be the last,
Read the bulletin, don't just scroll,
Every unpatched box could pay the toll.

[Verse 2]
Same app, different crack in the wall,
CVE ninety-six-six-five-two, hear the call,
Server-Side Request Forgery, SSRF for short,
Any X-Plex-Token turns into a passport,
Attacker slips a full URL in "protocol",
Forces the server to fetch at their control,
Internal network, now it's wide open ground,
Requests dressed as Plex, sneaking round and round,
The server plays courier, carries the mail,
Doesn't check the address, delivers to jail.

[Chorus]
October twenty-third, the feed won't rest,
Plex and Siemens failing every test,
Patch your server, patch it fast,
These critical flaws won't be the last,
Read the bulletin, don't just scroll,
Every unpatched box could pay the toll.

[Verse 3]
Now to Siemens, Software Center's the name,
CVE one-ten-nine-three-six, same old game,
Uncontrolled search path, a wandering eye,
Hunting for DLLs in folders nearby,
Local attacker, authenticated but low,
Drops a poisoned DLL where the app will go,
App loads blind trust, grabs the nearest file,
Privilege climbs up, forged in deceitful style,
Think of a locker left open and bare,
Wrong library walks in, nobody's aware.

[Bridge]
Three flaws, one date, a triple warning chime,
Encoding, forging, hijacking — pick your crime,
Beginners listen close, the lesson's plain,
Validate your input, guard the search terrain,
No CVSS shouted yet, no wild exploit confirmed,
But critical means critical — the alarm's been returned.

[Chorus]
October twenty-third, the feed won't rest,
Plex and Siemens failing every test,
Patch your server, patch it fast,
These critical flaws won't be the last,
Read the bulletin, don't just scroll,
Every unpatched box could pay the toll.

[Outro]
Ninety-six-six-five-four, five-two, one-ten-nine-three-six,
Write 'em down, patch your systems, don't risk the fix,
Tomorrow brings more, the feed never stops,
Stay sharp, stay patched, top of the watch.
