Jellyfin is an open source self hosted media server. Prior to 10.11.9, a potential XSS attack exists in Jellyfin which can allow a non-privileged user to execute arbitrary Javascript in the context of a logged-in Administrative user, resulting in numerous potential issues. The Client header during an AuthenticateByName can contain arbitrary HTML and Javascript, which will then be executed by the Administrative user when visiting the Access tab of the user in question from within the dashboard. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.11.9.
CVE-2026-49220
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.7 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 91% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
