Plex has notified some of its users on Thursday to urgently update their media servers due to a recently patched security vulnerability.

The company has yet to assign a CVE-ID to track the flaw and didn't provide additional details regarding the patch, only saying that it impacts Plex Media Server versions 1.41.7.x to 1.42.0.x.

if it's just family and friends you care about, it was pretty easy for me to set up a jellyfin server at home and point a really small virtualhost on a server mapped to a domain name with a reverse proxy to my home ip and then just opening up the jellyfin port on my router. this was literally just for my mum and dad and brother so ymmv.

LMAO. Those are all words I've heard before, but that sounds waaaaay over my head!

We have different definitions of pretty easy, I said one-click

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Oh, it's actually 0-click (though a couple dozen key presses)

sorry i thought you meant one click for family and friends to get on not initial setup.

"pretty easy" is a bit of a stretch
