Shared VMs exposed all HTTP ports to share recipients

2026-02-25 exe.dev team medium

Through February 21, 2026, when exe.dev users shared their VM using the "share" command, ports 3000-9999 were proxied, not just the specifically indicated port. Users who received a share link could access Shelley, which may not have been intended. Only users who were logged into exe.dev with their e-mail address, and with whom the VM was shared either via share link or explicitly via e-mail address, could access these ports.

We have fixed the issue, and we have notified affected users. There is no evidence of malicious use.
