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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-798","CWE-1392"],"references":["https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/18731","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/T5WXBKELVZFZNIDONIJESOCSRPIQNCGI/","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/U4BNFJR3ZWVLE2YSYIQYBWVDQBBZOLEL/","https://vulncheck.com/advisories/qbittorrent-default-creds","https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/18731"],"products":["qbittorrent:qbittorrent"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:39:34.467980132+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-30801","score":0.01243,"percentile":0.69224,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
