No Windows checker for the Plex exploit, so GPT built me one

Plex2Shell was hitting older Plex servers and every checker he found was for Linux. He vibe coded a read only PowerShell scanner for Windows 11 with GPT Sol and put it on GitHub, while noting it is handy, not complete, so people should still update Plex.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. He finds the existing Plex2Shell checkers are Linux only
  2. He vibe codes a read only PowerShell scanner with GPT Sol, building on existing work
  3. He publishes it on GitHub

Why it’s worth knowing

The gap was the platform, not the check. The checkers existed, just not for Windows, so he had a new one made and shared it.
