Title: Is MC vulnerable to the recent exploit in subtitle files?
Post by: mbagge on May 28, 2017, 05:11:17 am

I just had a few minutes of scary reading over at http //thehackernews.com/2017/05/movie-subtitles-malware.html where a company called Checkpoint describes how easy a hacker can specially craft an .SRT file to fool the subtitle engine to download and install malicious files on the computer.
Other mediacenter vendors have already been warned, VLC, Kodi (XBMC), Popcorn Time and Stremio. I wonder if JRiver did ?

Regards Michael

I missed that post even that I tried to look for such ones.
