      "value": "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."

El manejo inseguro de enlaces simb\u00f3licos con --links y --metadata en rclone mientras se copia al disco local permite a los usuarios sin privilegios modificar indirectamente la propiedad y los permisos en los archivos de destino de los enlaces simb\u00f3licos cuando un superusuario o un proceso privilegiado realiza una copia.
