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.

Plex blocked Hetzner IPs, so servers hosted there can't reach plex.tv to auth users or validate plex pass.

    That's what you get for using anything that doesn't work fully offline. Seriously people still defending Plex and not seeing that it will bite them back sooner or later are delusional.

    Given that hardware doesn't die, my Jellyfin will probably work until the heat death of the universe.

    I've been using a reverse proxy on a Hetzner VPS pointing at my home plex server for years without issue. Maybe this only applies to people running the actual Plex software on a Hetzner VPS?
