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.
I’m still using Plex because Jellyfin refuses to play surround sound on my Nvidia Shield. I do have a Jellyfin server running alongside Plex, with synchronized progress, for the inevitable point where I will have to jump ship.
