2 security issues in bookworm high

There are 2 open security issues in bookworm.

1 important issue:
  • CVE-2026-116748: Transmission 4.0.0 before 4.1.3 contains a permissive CORS vulnerability in handle_request() in rpc-server.cc that exposes the X-Transmission-Session-Id anti-CSRF token to any web origin. Malicious web pages can read the token from the 409 handshake response and replay it to issue RPC calls, enabling script-torrent-done execution, download-dir changes, or torrent and data deletion.
1 issue postponed or untriaged:
  • CVE-2026-38978: (needs triaging) transmission through 4.1.1 was found to have a clickjacking weakness in the browser-facing WebUI and RPC response paths.
