Routine

MEDIUM 6.8UPGRADE

CVE-2026-116194 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.8) affecting rclone. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Rclone from 1.52.0 before 1.75.2 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the pCloud backend's localhost OAuth callback, which disables the state check and trusts the hostname parameter. Malicious web pages can send a stateless request to port 53682 during authorization, planting attacker tokens and API hosts so later transfers reach the attacker.

Why this priority

No elevated risk signals yet

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

rclone rclone UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.52.0 and < 1.75.2

Fixed in: 1.75.2

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.52.0

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 1.52.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison rclone sudo apt install rclone=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.52.0> 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_1.52.0> 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.
