I checked the plex logs (Plex Media Server.log) today and found the following: Feb 15, 2022 02:11:21.543 [0x7f200a167b38] ERROR - Couldn't check for the existence of file "/root/.mozilla/firefox": boost::filesystem::status: Permission denied: "/root/.mozilla/firefox" Feb 15, 2022 02:11:24.640 [0x7f…

There were two issues identified: Leaking admin tokens (not identified/solved right now) Using Plex Server to steal files form Server (here a fix in the latest Beta has been published; final release is not available until now)

How is there no standard “sigh” emoji available yet. :roll_eyes: will have to do, though it’s a bit stronger than I’d like. The “fixes” mentioned in point #2 above were new logging changes intended to help identify occurrences of credentials/tokens being misused per #1. Which has not been shown t…
