Honestly yeah. The Jellyfin Backend is basically unauthenticated for a large part, allowing anyone to map and stream your content as soon as they guessed the ids, which isn’t that hard, since they are based on the paths on your device. So if your movie sits in /mnt/media/movies/the_bee_movie that is pretty esay to guess and calculate the id from, allowing anyone to stream that content from your server

And apart from an undesirable bandwidth usage resulting from someone guessing their way to my file structure, how can this be used to compromise my server?

They can stream content from your server or map out ehat you have on there by using a rainbow table. Depending on the country you live on they can use that combined with your IP to start litigating you

And this has actually happened before?

My question is, where are you posting the address to your jellyfin server that someone who finds it will go through the trouble of even doing this?
Also how could they start litigating you based on the content you have? If I had illegal content on my server, I would be really dumb to expose it on the internet on a public jellyfin server. Otherwise my movies, tv, etc are my paid for content…

if you reverse proxy into a VPN this isn’t an issue
MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 4 weeks ago
The magic bullet in that sentence is VPN not reverse proxy

im aware, but the inconvenience of all users connecting to the VPN was mentioned. that’s unnecessary this way
