Routine

MEDIUM 5.9REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2026-116192 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.9) affecting rclone. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

rclone from 1.37 before 1.74.2 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to redirect http and netstorage backend requests by supplying a double-slash root on an existing named remote via --rc-serve. Attackers can make HEAD/GET requests to attacker-chosen hosts to read responses, capture configured custom headers, or obtain valid NetStorage request signatures.

Why this priority

Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

rclone rclone UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.37 and < 1.74.2

Fixed in: 1.74.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.37

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 1.74.2 (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 1.37 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison rclone sudo apt install rclone=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.37> 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_1.37> 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.
