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 ootl; how was plex able to ban them? isn’t hetzner just a vps provider? (not questioning you; just curious)
Plex blocked Hetzner IPs, so servers hosted there can’t reach plex.tv to auth users or validate plex pass.
that’s wild :o
Basically it’s possible by checkin IP of the server.
