      You’ve piqued my interest. Where can I read about it?

      I did a quick search on their github and came up empty. Maybe no one mentioned “htaccess” in the issue.

        Search for “basic auth”

        Its the only software project I know of that you can’t put behind http basic auth. They mark this bug as “wontfix” every time someone points it out to them

          Basic auth? The insecure authentication method?

          Ok, I’ll look it up anyway. Under the jellyfin repository, there were eight results, none of which seemed to describe what you meant, and under the jellyfin-web repository, there were none. Using a web crawler search, I was able to find Issue #123 for jellyfin-android

          Is that it?

            Basic auth is very secure.

            Unlike custom implemented logins. So it’s common to use basic auth in front of custom auth implementations. So even when the app has a login vuln, you’re safe.

            Yes that ticket is one of many.

            Try searching the repo. Make sure to backspace out the prefix that ignores closed tickets.
