CVE-2026-116196GHSA-gpw7-77cq-9f72

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (rclone 1.75.2), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Rclone before v1.75.2 contains a credential exposure vulnerability in the b2 backend that leaks the live account Authorization token and SSE-C keys on HTTP redirects from --b2-download-url hosts. Attackers can observe a same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrade redirect to capture the cleartext B2 token, or receive cross-host redirects disclosing SSE-C customer encryption keys.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-116196

Advisory: Rclone before v1.75.2 B2 Credential Leak on Redirect via --b2-download-url
IDs: CVE-2026-116196, GHSA-gpw7-77cq-9f72
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-116196 (revision 1, source checked 30 Oct 2026, 07:20 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.0)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: rclone 1.75.2. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Bitnami rclone: affected < 1.75.2; fixed in 1.75.2

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Bitnami rclone: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on rclone.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/BIT-rclone-2026-116196 (OSV record BIT-rclone-2026-116196 lists affected ranges: Bitnami rclone >=0 <1.75.2 (fixed))
