Hello,
It was recently found out that there's a longstanding vulnerability in qBitTorrent. I won't pretend to understand what it all means, but the gist of it is that everyone should update to 5.0.1 ASAP. It'd be great if the portableapps version was also updated to protect its users.
"In qBittorrent, the DownloadManager class has ignored every SSL certificate validation error that has ever happened, on every platform, for 14 years and 6 months since April 6 2010 with commit 9824d86. The default behaviour changed to verifying on October 12 2024 with commit 3d9e971. The first patched release is version 5.0.1, released 2 days ago."

Thanks for the heads up. It's been updated. In the future, when an out of date app has a security issue, please mention it in the Outdated Apps Thread linked from the Development and Support sections.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Will do, thank you for the quick update! I didn't realize there was such a thread, this was simply where I was redirected from the qBitTorrent app page.
