CVE-2026-38978 Details
Description
transmission through 4.1.1 was found to have a clickjacking weakness in the browser-facing WebUI and RPC response paths.
A clickjacking vulnerability has been identified in Transmission version 4.1.1. The issue arises because the browser-facing WebUI and RPC response paths do not include anti-clickjacking headers, leaving them susceptible to being embedded in an attacker-controlled page. This omission can be exploited to perform clickjacking attacks on authenticated users, potentially leading to unauthorized actions being taken on their behalf.
Users should update to the latest version of Transmission, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
