CVEPublishedSeverityDetailsVector
CVE-2025-543102025-07-18 20:15:25MEDIUM (4)qBittorrent before 5.1.2 does not prevent access to a local file that is referenced in a link URL. This affects rsswidget.cpp and searchjobwidget.cpp.NETWORK
CVE-2024-517742024-11-02 06:15:03HIGH (8)qBittorrent before 5.0.1 proceeds with use of https URLs even after certificate validation errors.NETWORK
CVE-2023-308012023-10-10 14:15:10CRITICAL (10)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. NETWORK
CVE-2019-136402019-07-17 22:15:11HIGH (8)In qBittorrent before 4.1.7, the function Application::runExternalProgram() located in app/application.cpp allows command injection via shell metacharacters in the torrent name parameter or current tracker parameter, as demonstrated by remote command execution via a crafted name within an RSS feed.NETWORK
CVE-2017-65042017-03-06 02:59:01MEDIUM (4)WebUI in qBittorrent before 3.3.11 did not set the X-Frame-Options header, which could potentially lead to clickjacking.NETWORK
CVE-2017-65032017-03-06 02:59:01MEDIUM (4)WebUI in qBittorrent before 3.3.11 did not escape many values, which could potentially lead to XSS.NETWORK
CVE-2017-127782019-05-09 17:29:00LOW (4)The UI Lock feature in qBittorrent version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass, which allows Attack to gain unauthorized access to qBittorrent functions by tampering the affected flag value of the config file at the C:\Users\<username>\Roaming\qBittorrent pathname. The attacker must change the value of the "locked" attribute to "false" within the "Locking" stanza. NOTE: This is an intended behavior.

Why keeping qBittorrent patched matters

Unpatched third-party applications are one of the most common ways attackers get in: 57% of breached MSP clients and 32% of ransomware cases trace back to a missing patch. Every qBittorrent release that fixes a security bug is public, so attackers see it too, and an out-of-date install becomes a documented way in. Tracking the installed version on every machine and closing the gap quickly is what turns a disclosed CVE into a non-event.
