Routine

LOW 3.7REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2026-116190 is a low-severity flaw (CVSS 3.7) affecting rclone. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

rclone from v1.56.0 before v1.75.2 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in the WebDAV backend that forwards operator-configured custom credential headers to different hosts on HTTP 3xx redirects. Attackers who control or influence a cross-host redirect can capture headers such as X-Auth-Token set via --webdav-headers and replay them against the original WebDAV service.

rclone rclone UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.56.0 and < 1.75.2

Fixed in: 1.75.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.56.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy rclone || rpm -q rclone || rclone --version

2. UPGRADE to 1.75.2 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade rclone

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade rclone

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.56.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison rclone sudo apt install rclone=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.56.0> sudo apt-mark hold rclone

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list rclone sudo dnf downgrade rclone-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.56.0> sudo dnf versionlock add rclone

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
