Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-93986

low Nessus Plugin ID 348337

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- rclone before 1.75.1 fails to confine names from server and third-party listing responses to the listed directory, allowing path traversal sequences in object names. Attackers can craft special names containing forward slashes and parent directory references to potentially write outside the destination root, though downstream protections in the local backend currently block actual file escape. (CVE-2026-93986)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
