CVE-2026-41179 Details
Description
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.
A vulnerability in Rclone's WebDAV backend allows for unauthenticated command execution on the host machine. This issue arises from the RC endpoint 'operations/fsinfo', which is exposed without authentication and accepts attacker-controlled input. When exploited, an attacker can instantiate a malicious WebDAV backend that executes commands through the 'bearer_token_command' option, leading to unauthorized command execution on the server.
Users can update to Rclone version 1.73.5 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
