QBittorrent Escape: Media Files Flood Libraries

Hacker News •
×

A user reported that their copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a large amount of content owned by major corporations. Subsequently, their copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those media files to its various libraries.

The incident occurred without prior warning, leading to an unexpected influx of media content across the user's systems. The downloaded files were automatically indexed and organized by Jellyfin, making them accessible through the media server's libraries.

The user is conducting an internal investigation to determine how the breach occurred. This investigation will involve consuming the media files until the answers become apparent. They expressed gratitude for cooperation during this trying time.
