Echo: rclone: security update to 1.75.2-1

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 478399

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. Prior to v1.75.0, rclone interpolates remote SFTP paths into PowerShell hash commands in
 backend/sftp/sftp.go, and quoteOrEscapeShellPath escapes only ASCII apostrophe even though PowerShell
 treats U+2018, U+2019, U+201A, and U+201B as single-quote delimiters, allowing an attacker-controlled
 filename to terminate the intended path literal and append PowerShell statements that execute as the
 victim SSH account when server-side hashing is invoked. This issue is fixed in v1.75.0. (CVE-2026-71312)

Solution

Update the rclone library and its related packages to version 1.75.2-1 or later.
