Navidrome 0.64.0

Original release notes

This release brings an experimental Jellyfin Music API, so Jellyfin-compatible music clients like Finamp and Jellify can now connect to Navidrome. Artwork got a new background pipeline with blurred low-quality placeholders and a diagnostic CLI. Under the hood, all IDs move to a uniform canonical 128-bit format, genre and artist filtering is now index-backed, and playlist import on large libraries is dramatically faster. There is also natural sort order, playlist favourites, Refresh Metadata actions, new Catppuccin themes, and many fixes across scanning, transcoding and scrobbling.

Breaking Changes / Migration Notes

  • All internal IDs are re-encoded to a single canonical 128-bit base62 format. The migration touches every table, so back up your database before upgrading. Clients that cache item IDs (for example, offline downloads) may need to re-sync. (#5824)
  • Plugin authors: Extism's built-in HTTP is disabled. Calls through pdk.NewHTTPRequest (Go), http::request (Rust) or the equivalent in other PDKs now fail with HTTP request ... is not allowed. Plugins must use the host HTTP service instead: host.HTTPSend (Go) or nd_pdk::host::http::send (Rust). Also, plugin HTTP and WebSocket connections to private or loopback addresses are now blocked for named hosts; to reach a LAN service, list its IP or CIDR in the manifest's requiredHosts, or use a bare "*". (1a8463f7d, 276d767ce)
  • Shares are always owned by the user who creates them. Admins can no longer create shares on behalf of another user via userId. (1a8463f7d)
  • Configuration durations are now validated. Negative values are rejected at startup. (#6002)
  • Navidrome now warns about unrecognized options in the config file, so typos no longer fail silently. (#5870)

Security

This release fixes several reported vulnerabilities. We thank the security researchers who responsibly disclosed them.

  • Fix SQL injection via the artist role sort and filter parameters in the Native API by validating the role against the known list. (4168377b6, GHSA-hm54-32q6-3rcr, reported and fixed by @Sudo-Ivan)
  • Fix share-ownership spoofing (IDOR) that let a client-supplied userId on share creation expose other users' private libraries, and fix a plugin HTTP client SSRF guard bypass via DNS names and redirects by disabling Extism's built-in HTTP and checking the resolved IP at dial time. (1a8463f7d, GHSA-82gh-4ggp-gfg5, reported by @gigioneggiando)
  • Fix the same SSRF bypass in the plugin WebSocket host service by adding the private-address guard it was missing. (276d767ce, GHSA-pr2j-mfc8-qjcc, reported by @qrn12580)
  • Fix login rate limit bypass via spoofed X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP and True-Client-IP headers by keying the limit on the trust-aware client IP. (#6124, GHSA-f295-6wp9-qqfg, reported by @gehan-psbc and @skarn958)
  • Fix memory exhaustion via a negative size parameter on getCoverArt and share images, which bypassed the artwork size clamp, by rejecting negative and oversized dimensions before decoding. (#5847, GHSA-f22h-6qxh-rqq2, reported by @arpitjain099)
  • Enforce track membership on public share streams so a share can only stream the tracks it contains. (#5769 by @deluan)
  • Validate every resource ID in a share, load share metadata as the owner, cap login request bodies, create the log file with mode 0600, and stop logging the Last.fm auth token. (#6098 by @deluan)
  • Confine plugin filesystem mounts to their root and reject plugin IDs that are unusable as directory names. (#5881, #5886 by @deluan)
  • Redact sensitive auth headers from request logs. (82b9a44a1 by @deluan)

Note: Several of the advisories linked above are still in draft on GitHub at the time of writing. Their links will become publicly accessible once the advisories are published. The fixes themselves are already included in this release.

For a complete list of all configuration options, see the Configuration Options documentation.

Jellyfin API (Experimental)

  • Add an experimental Jellyfin Music API, enabling Jellyfin-compatible music clients to connect to Navidrome. Enable it with Jellyfin.Enabled = true. (#5730 by @deluan)
  • Supports library browsing, search, favorites and ratings, playlists, lyrics, Instant Mix (album, playlist and genre sources), ReplayGain normalization, and filtering by year and record label. (#5791, #5948, #5815, #5817 by @deluan, #5809 by @kgarner7)
  • Jellyfin clients get sonic similarity features (similar tracks, sonic path) when a sonic similarity plugin is installed, backed by the same engine already exposed over the Subsonic API. (#5782 by @deluan)
  • Jellyfin tokens never expire, are scoped to the Jellyfin API, and are revoked when the user changes their password. (#6013 by @deluan)

Artwork

  • New artwork pipeline: artwork resolves in the background and pages show a blurred Low Quality Image Placeholder until the real image arrives. External providers are rate-limited and guarded by a circuit breaker, and missing artwork is rechecked slowly instead of on every request. (#5847 by @deluan)
  • Make the artwork image size cap configurable. (#5931 by @deluan)
  • Fix artist folder being promoted to album folder. (#5856 by @kgarner7)
