What about the pwned users of Jellyfin that have unknowingly had security holes for 5 years because Jellyfin doesn't care enough to even put a banner in their settings to say it's not secure?
What security holes? I think the bigger problem here is relying on a media platform to also maintain security protocols. Use authelia or plug some other well maintained and hardened security mechanism on top of jellyfin. Then put it in front of everything else like the arrs, etc. Its weird to me to just setup jellyfin, make it Internet facing, and believing everything is just gonna be safe and secure with no issue. Frankly id prefer if all these services came without security. Its a royal pain to bypass it for localhost or proxying with something like authelia.
Huh? Did you even read the whole thread? They're linked above.
