- [major 2075128] ONLY if you use the calibre Content server, you should update calibre as soon as possible
If you do not know what the Content server is, you do not use it, and
these do not apply to you. If you have set a password to access the
Content server that you have not shared with anyone, these do not
affect you.
A remote code execution bug in the Content server introduced in
calibre version 6.9.0 (released on 2022-11-25) means that anyone with
access to the server also has access to the rest of the computer the
server is running on. If you are using a password to protect access to
the server only people that know the password can gain access via the
bug. Thanks to STAR Labs (https://starlabs.sg) for finding these
vulnerabilities.
