CVE-2026-41179
Published:April 23, 2026
Updated:May 18, 2026
Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. Starting in version 1.48.0 and prior to version 1.73.5, the RC endpoint "operations/fsinfo" is exposed without "AuthRequired: true" and accepts attacker-controlled "fs" input. Because "rc.GetFs(...)" supports inline backend definitions, an unauthenticated attacker can instantiate an attacker-controlled backend on demand. For the WebDAV backend, "bearer_token_command" is executed during backend initialization, making single-request unauthenticated local command execution possible on reachable RC deployments without global HTTP authentication. Version 1.73.5 patches the issue.
