there is a [discord server](https://discord.gg/25J8CdTT6G) with an `@everyone` in case of future important updates, such as [vulnerabilities](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/security) (most recently 2026-07-06)

## ⚠️ ATTN: this release fixes a dirkey vulnerability

in volumes with **both** [dirkeys](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/#dirkeys) and [filekeys](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/#filekeys) enabled (default-disabled), a valid filekey could be converted into a dirkey, granting read-access to the containing folder

## recent important news

* [v1.20.17 (2026-07-06)](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/releases/tag/v1.20.17) fixed a vuln when a volume has both filekeys and dirkeys enabled

## 🧪 new features

  * this could *possibly* break some aftermarket javascript-based plugins ([--js-browser](https://copyparty.eu/cli/#g-js-browser) / [--html-head](https://copyparty.eu/cli/#g-html-head))
  * now probably safe to disable the markdown/logue sandboxes ([--no-sb-md](https://copyparty.eu/cli/#g-no-sb-md) / `--no-sb-lg`) in most deployments, avoiding #230
* sandbox ffmpeg/ffprobe in bwrap to defend against future FFmpeg vulns efa43f89 85be3b8d
  * doesn't work in docker / podman, so `initcfg` in the images have [use-bwrap: n](https://copyparty.eu/cli/#g-use-bwrap) to disable it db68353e
  * doesn't work in [prisonparty](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/hovudstraum/bin/prisonparty.sh) either... pain peko
* #1535 cbz-reader: go-to-page (thx @romfir!) 12d877b0
