Tohora allows anyone to change the URL

Open idoodler opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

I am working on some info screens for our small flats we rent out. I noticed that you recently added Tohora which allows anyone to change the URL of the WebView to any arbitrary URL without authentication.

Anyone bored teenager could "hack" into the system and display some unwanted pages.

I would recommend to actively opt-in to Tohora. There also isn't a single mention in the readme that this service exists.

You could remove the port mapping so the port is no longer accessible.
