SCA: security update for github.com/rclone/rclone (GHSA-p6m2-r3w9-mpxw)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 447924

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 1.75.1, backend/local with --links or links=true exposes symlink targets as
.rclonelink objects, and fs.RangeOption.Decode can pass an unchecked positive Range start through
Object.Open and openTranslatedLink. The function slices the target string as linkdst[offset:], so a Range
start larger than the target length causes a deterministic slice-bounds panic when lib/http/serve exposes
the object through HTTP or WebDAV. Go net/http normally recovers the panic per connection, causing
request-level denial of service rather than terminating the entire process. This issue is fixed in version
1.75.1. (CVE-2026-88015)

Solution

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