CVE Catalog

CVE-2026-116189

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

rclone from 1.55.0 before 1.75.2 contains a signature verification bypass in stable selfupdate that trusts checksums from unsigned bytes preceding the PGP-clearsigned SHA256SUMS block. Attackers controlling the release distribution path can prepend an unsigned checksum line matching a malicious archive, causing selfupdate to install an attacker-controlled rclone executable.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can cause installation of a malicious rclone executable, leading to code execution on the victim system.

Recommendation

Update rclone to version 1.75.2 or later. Verify checksums manually and limit trust in distribution channels.
