CVE-2023-30801:

All versions of the qBittorrent client through 4.5.5 use default credentials when the web user interface is enabled. The administrator is not forced to change the default credentials. As of 4.5.5, this issue has not been fixed. A remote attacker can use the default credentials to authenticate and execute arbitrary operating system commands using the "external program" feature in the web user interface. This was reportedly exploited in the wild in March 2023.

Looks like we have a backport to the 4.6 branch, but not sure if in
any release? https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/pull/19751
Comment 1 Eli Schwartz 2024-01-22 21:56:30 UTC
Backport landed in https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/commit/267d504ec04580d8bd397804d8fe18597c99c89d

$ git tag --contains 267d504ec04580d8bd397804d8fe18597c99c89d
release-4.6.1
release-4.6.2
release-4.6.3

So we have had the backport packaged since November, but it is not stable yet.
Comment 2 Eli Schwartz 2024-01-22 22:00:37 UTC
Awkward. In https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/34949 I removed 4.6.1, and 4.6.2 was only packaged on Jan 13. which feels a bit early to stabilize.

    net-p2p/qbittorrent: drop old
    
    4.6.2-r1 has been stable for a month now already, and older versions
    have a security bug. Clean up the old ebuilds.
