Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
qui is a web interface for managing qBittorrent instances. Versions 1.14.1 and below use a permissive CORS policy that reflects arbitrary origins while also returning Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true, effectively allowing any external webpage to make authenticated requests on behalf of a logged-in user. An attacker can exploit this by tricking a victim into loading a malicious webpage, which silently interacts with the application using the victim's session and potentially exfiltrating sensitive data such as API keys and account credentials, or even achieving full system compromise through the built-in External Programs manager. Exploitation requires that the victim access the application via a non-localhost hostname and load an attacker-controlled webpage, making highly targeted social-engineering attacks the most likely real-world scenario. This issue was not fixed at the time of publication.

Recommended fix High confidence

1.15.0 or later stable release

  1. Check current qui installation version using the web interface or package manager
  2. Ensure you have a backup of your qui configuration and data
  3. For Docker deployments: Update the image to version 1.15.0 or later (e.g., docker pull ghcr.io/autobrr/qui:latest or specific version tag)
  4. For binary installations: Download and install the new version from the releases page
  5. Restart the qui service after updating
  6. Verify the CORS policy is no longer permissive by inspecting HTTP responses for Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers
  7. Log out and log back in to refresh session tokens as a precaution
Caveat Review release notes for 1.15.0 for any breaking changes or configuration adjustments, though none are anticipated for this security fix
