SCA: security update for github.com/rclone/rclone (GHSA-qw24-gh76-8rvv)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443312

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage
 providers. From 1.46.0 until 1.74.3, rclone rcd --rc-serve accepts unauthenticated GET and HEAD requests
 to paths of the form: /[remote:path]/object. The remote value is parsed from the URL and passed to normal
 backend initialization. Inline remote configuration can set backend options that execute local commands
 during initialization. As a result, a single unauthenticated GET or HEAD request can execute a command as
 the rclone process user. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.74.3. (CVE-2026-49980)

Solution

Update the github.com/rclone/rclone library and its related packages to version 1.74.3 or later.
