That's what I said, isn't it? I said "without additional
vulnerabilities".
The question is: will someone go all the way to do such a complicated
attack just to attack your music server? Unlikely IMHO, not impossible.
If there are more vulnerabilities and you an e.g. gain more rights on
the server, that's when it gets more critical. 
A good remedy here would be to run LMS from a VM that only has read
access to your music but that can get complicated quickly, at least if
you still want to be able to store playlists, set ratings etc.
