Severity ?
5.4 (Medium) - CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L
CWE
  • CWE-59 - Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')
  • CWE-61 - UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following
  • CWE-281 - Improper Preservation of Permissions
Summary
Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. Insecure handling of symlinks with --links and --metadata in rclone while copying to local disk allows unprivileged users to indirectly modify ownership and permissions on symlink target files when a superuser or privileged process performs a copy. This vulnerability could enable privilege escalation and unauthorized access to critical system files, compromising system integrity, confidentiality, and availability. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.68.2.
