The update got released over 2 months ago. So sensible admins should not be getting hit by this.

Also I use Jellyfin btw.

    Am not sensible admin. Though I did just run a backup and update. How likely am I FUBAR?

    Edit: I run Plex on a dedicated proxmox VM. Theoretically I could nuke it and start over with my Plex database file. Though there’s some config I’d have to do again and I don’t want to

      I was also impacted, you need to remove the payload that got dumped:

      Payload: /tmp/.pxb/{curl,wget}, /tmp/.spid

      Two processes named khungtaskd / cron

      They also stole your admin token so go to the Plex UI and log out of all devices for whichever account has ownership of the instance.

      Then you can reclaim ownership and it resets the admin token.

      You should likely be fine, I didn’t have any crypto miners on mine, it was just in a docker instance and didn’t have access outside of it. I would be much more worried if it was a direct install on a main PC.

      Also install watch tower
