Originally created by @ghost on GitHub (Aug 18, 2020).

OS of Host: Ubuntu 20.04.1

Issue:
After recently doing some things for my parents laptop, I opened the File Explorer on Windows 10 to see my Jellyfin instance pop up. After clicking it to see what would happen, I saw that it didn't prompt for a password or anything, it just connected.

I'm not sure if this is Jellyfin-related or not, but it's a big security issue if anything somehow got exposed.

This is probably the Jellyfin DLNA server - disable it if you don't want it to show up on your network, or assign a user with limited permissions as the DLNA "Default user" to restrict how much is visible on the local network.

That looks like it might've been it, I've disabled it, will check everything tomorrow.

It is indeed the DLNA server.
