Emby 4.6.4.0 Security Issues?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,
I have Emby behind an Nginx Reverse Proxy with Fail2Ban, strong passwords, and limited accounts.  I decided to add in GoAccess to check the logs and I've noticed a lot of attempts on EMBY that have me suspecting that it's being attacked and/or accessed by someone I don't know.  I'm realizing now that using /emby as your location for reverse proxy is probably not a good idea.

I'm not expert in any regard, so if I'm crazy let me know :)

I did some testing on some of the URLs and noticed that I was /emby/emby/Users/Public was accessible remotely w/out any authentication.  Even if you're not displaying user names remotely, this file is accessible and provides pretty much all the user data accordingly.  There are other URLs that also seem to work and provide information but I wanted to get the thread started for now until I have time to dig through more of the data.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
`Nyko

/emby/emby/Users/Public

This is the api that provides apps with the list of users to display on the visual login screen. You are in complete control via user permissions of which users appear in this, and which will not.

Ok, I have 'Hide this user from login screens on devices they've never signed into' configured and when I found this url, I realized the user info is exposed. After configuring 'Hide this user from login screens when connected remotely' the usernames no longer appear.  Thanks for the info Luke, appreciate it.

When reviewing not found URLs it did seem that there were a high amount of hits for a handful, any chance you might be able to tell if this would be normal?

Well they've got the /emby doubled so that's probably why.
