8.8 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:LCVE-2026-54572
High (8.8) in rclone rclone. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in github.com/rclone/rclone 1.74.4.
Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. Prior to 1.74.4, with -l/--links, rclone serializes symlinks as .rclonelink text objects and recreates them on a local destination without validating the target, allowing an attacker-controlled remote to plant an escaping symlink and cause a following object write to land outside the destination with attacker-chosen contents. This issue is fixed in version 1.74.4.
