Y'all are assuming the security issue is something exploitable without authentication or has something to do with auth.

But it it could be a supply chain issue which a VPN won't protect you from.

to be fair, Jellyfin had multiple unauthenticated vulnerabilities in the past so it makes sense to talk about it

The design of Jellyfin is really insecure

It isn't a supply chain attack. If it was they would've disclosed it mmediately instead of waiting.
