Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
AETHYN_USERNAME (Aethyn proxy username (e.g. aethyn-XXXXX). Omit if using a custom proxy via PROXY_*.), AETHYN_PASSWORD (Aethyn proxy password (or PROXY_PASSWORD for a custom proxy).), AETHYN_DEFAULT_TIER (Default proxy tier: premium (port 2099) or elite (port 5499).).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
