Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Jellyfin is an open source self hosted media server. Versions prior to 10.11.7 contain a denial of service vulnerability in the SyncPlay group creation endpoint (POST /SyncPlay/New), where an authenticated user can create groups with names of unlimited size due to insufficient input validation. By sending large payloads combined with arbitrary group IDs, an attacker can lock out the endpoint for other clients attempting to join SyncPlay groups and significantly increase the memory usage of the Jellyfin process, potentially leading to an out-of-memory crash. This issue has been fixed in version 10.11.7.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in Jellyfin versions prior to 10.11.7 allows authenticated users to exhaust server resources and crash the SyncPlay media synchronization service via the group creation endpoint (POST /SyncPlay/New) by submitting unbounded payload sizes. An attacker can lock out legitimate clients from accessing SyncPlay functionality and trigger out-of-memory conditions through insufficient input validation on group names and IDs. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified.
Technical ContextAI
Jellyfin is an open source media server platform that includes SyncPlay, a feature enabling synchronized media playback across multiple clients. The vulnerability exists in the SyncPlay group creation endpoint which accepts HTTP POST requests without enforcing size limits on group name parameters. The root cause is classified under CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption), a common class where applications fail to restrict the size or number of resources allocated to user-supplied input. The SyncPlay service maintains in-memory data structures for group state management; unbounded group names cause these structures to grow without constraint, exhausting heap memory and potentially triggering garbage collection storms or out-of-memory exceptions that crash the Jellyfin process.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Jellyfin 10.11.7. Update to version 10.11.7 or later to resolve the vulnerability; the fix includes input validation to enforce size limits on SyncPlay group name parameters and arbitrary group IDs. No workarounds short of disabling the SyncPlay feature are available for versions prior to 10.11.7.
