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
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.
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.
