SCA: security update for github.com/rclone/rclone (GHSA-c476-6w5q-jw77)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 447914

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 1.64.0 until 1.75.1, the FTP auth-proxy driver in cmd/serve/ftp/ftp.go stores one obscured
 password per username in the server-wide userPass map[string]string instead of binding the credential or
 VFS to the authenticated session. If two accepted credentials use the same username but resolve to
 different proxy backends, a later CheckPasswd login overwrites userPass[user], and subsequent getVFS
 operations on the first session are reauthorized with the later password. The first session can then read,
 create, overwrite, rename, or delete objects using the second credential’s backend authority. Exploitation
 requires the later same-username login to occur while the first session remains open. This issue is fixed
 in version 1.75.1. (CVE-2026-88017)

Solution

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