CVE-2026-116748 Oct 26, 21:52 HIGH POC PATCH This Week

A permissive CORS misconfiguration in Transmission 4.0.0 through 4.1.2 exposes the RPC anti-CSRF token (X-Transmission-Session-Id) to any web origin, so a malicious page can read the token from the 409 handshake response and replay it to drive the RPC interface as the user. Successful replay allows settings tampering, download-directory changes and torrent or data deletion, and escalates to code execution where the script-torrent-done feature is usable, but only defeats the anti-CSRF check - an RPC password or an enabled IP whitelist blocks the replay. Exploitation requires the RPC web server (default port 9091) to be reachable from the victim's browser and the victim to visit the attacker's page; no KEV entry exists, EPSS is low at 0.53% (44th percentile), and a public researcher write-up with a PoC reference exists but is not verified here as working exploit code.
