CVE-2026-49980

Rclone: Unauthenticated command execution in `rclone rcd --rc-serve` via inline remote instantiation, bypassing CVE-2026-41179 fix PUBLISHED

Description (CNA)

Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. From 1.46.0 until 1.74.3, rclone rcd --rc-serve accepts unauthenticated GET and HEAD requests to paths of the form: /[remote:path]/object. The remote value is parsed from the URL and passed to normal backend initialization. Inline remote configuration can set backend options that execute local commands during initialization. As a result, a single unauthenticated GET or HEAD request can execute a command as the rclone process user. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.74.3.

A flaw was found in Rclone, a command-line program for cloud storage synchronization. When the `rcd --rc-serve` option is enabled, an unauthenticated remote attacker can send specially crafted GET or HEAD requests to execute arbitrary commands as the Rclone process user. This vulnerability allows for remote code execution, potentially compromising the system where Rclone is running.
