CVE-2026-116195 PUBLISHED

Rclone before 1.75.2 Path Traversal via translateLink .rclonelink Suffix Trim

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 25.10.2026 Published: 25.10.2026 Updated: 25.10.2026

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.
