  • Besides that, security by obscurity is the worst possible form and barely qualifies as security at all.

    In fact security by obscurity is not security at all. In this case it should be authenticated or to the very least to actually use a random string like a uuid. But, changing the root path does prevent it from exploiting. Not perfect but a temporary solution.

    It’s also another place where the Jellyfin devs leave their users to their own devices when it comes to securing the server against malicious actors.

    Another place? What else? You mean setting up you own server? That is in fact your responsibility.




  • Based on you screenshot from the NPM Dashboard there seems to be something wrong. In the setup window you show that you forward the traffic with http and port 80, in the dashboard screenshot you forward the traffic with https and port 80.

    Just skip http and self signed certificates all together. Modern Browsers make it a pain to use non https sites. A simple domain setup with dns acme challenge is a little bit of a hassle but worth the hour(s) of invested time. Especially with npm were it is a set and forget option.

    Does pihole support wildcard dns entries yet? To my knowledge the gui only supports single entries so that you have to enter every subdomain manually in pihole that you want to have forwarded. Workaround would be to use a dnsmasq config file or use something else like addguard.



  • And which one of those are actually vulnerabilities that are exploitable? First, yes ofc unauthenticated endpoints should be fixed, but with those there is no real damage to be done.

    If you know the media path then you can request a playback, and if you get the user ids then you can get all users. That’s more or less it.

    Good? No. But far from making it a poor choice exposing it.





  • … and may also break compatibility with previous 10.Y releases if required for later cleanup work.

    If you read through the whole paragraph, it is clear that they mean the compatibility of previous jellyfin versions.

    Also, again:

    Note however that the 10.Y.Z release chain represents the “cleanup” of the codebase, so it should be accepted that 10.Y.Z breaks all compatibility,

    That means that the code is not cleaned up with that release.

    If you would release 11 before the code is considered cleaned up, you would basically break your own defined versioning convention. That is best decided by the active maintainers.
