Ouch, if maintainers aren't available, I could get a revert PR going in a couple hours

XRef: #352499
The version < 5.0.1 contains a RCE CVE. If we need to revert back to an older version, we need to mark it insecure.

rock and a hard place here, huh.

I think its probably better to leave the package as is, between picking a potential vulnerability and a memory leak I'd reckon most would settle for the latter.

If there's been any upstream commits with a potential fix I could get it added here as a patch as a temporary fix before a full release, though that will have to wait for rn, since it hasnt been fixed.

Upstream issue seems to be fixed in qbittorrent/qBittorrent#21618 which is part a v5.0.1
