Rclone before 1.75.2 Path Traversal via translateLink .rclonelink Suffix Trim

Published Oct 25, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Rclone before 1.75.2 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the local backend's translateLink function, which trims the .rclonelink suffix from a path after the containment check, so a name can resolve outside the destination root. Attackers can plant a directory named ...rclonelink in a source tree synced with --links and --metadata to change ownership, timestamps, and xattrs of the destination's parent directory.
