SCA: security update for github.com/rclone/rclone (GHSA-66hp-wgxq-6f5q)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 447911
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 1.72.0 until 1.75.1, the archive ZIP backend method (*Fs).readZip in
backend/archive/zip/zip.go accepts archive/zip.File.Name values from an untrusted central directory and
exposes cleaned entry names without ensuring that they remain inside the archive namespace. Entries such
as ../../etc/cron.d/evil can survive path.Clean and become Object.Remote() values that fs/sync and
fs/operations use as destination-relative paths, allowing rclone copy or sync to write outside the
selected destination on backends that do not independently confine the path. The non-empty root check also
used strings.HasPrefix without a path boundary, so root foo could incorrectly include sibling foobar
entries. This issue is fixed in version 1.75.1. (CVE-2026-88014)
Solution
Update the github.com/rclone/rclone library and its related packages to version 1.75.1 or later.See Also
