I am aware that an rce is the worst possibility I'm saying it shouldn't be. The web portion is already its own isolated binary that you have to install but it's designed with seemingly very little attention to security.

To the point that jellyfin has already had several major RCE and despite having full support for running over the web with http developers are basically just like you should not be using this without a VPN which is overall a pretty pathetic stance for a media server
