SCA: security update for github.com/rclone/rclone (GHSA-486v-q2wf-fp2r)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 447913

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 1.49.0 until 1.75.1, the HTTP backend attaches headers configured through --http-headers
or headers= to requests in backend/http/http.go, while its fshttp.NewClient client follows redirects
without a backend-specific http.Client.CheckRedirect policy. A configured remote that redirects to another
host can therefore cause custom secrets such as X-Api-Key to be resent to that untrusted destination, and
a same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP redirect can expose Authorization or Cookie headers in cleartext. Listing, stat,
download, mount, and serve operations can trigger the leak during normal use. This issue is fixed in
version 1.75.1. (CVE-2026-88013)

Solution

Update the github.com/rclone/rclone library and its related packages to version 1.75.1 or later.
