CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects rclone versions 1.49.0 to 1.75.1, where the HTTP backend improperly handles redirects, potentially exposing sensitive headers such as X-Api-Key, Authorization, or Cookie to untrusted destinations. This can occur during common operations like listing, downloading, or serving files, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information. Users of rclone, especially those handling sensitive data in cloud storage, should prioritize upgrading to version 1.75.1 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. From 1.49.0 until 1.75.1, the HTTP backend attaches headers configured through --http-headers or headers= to requests in backend/http/http.go, while its fshttp.NewClient client follows redirects without a backend-specific http.Client.CheckRedirect policy. A configured remote that redirects to another host can therefore cause custom secrets such as X-Api-Key to be resent to that untrusted destination, and a same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP redirect can expose Authorization or Cookie headers in cleartext. Listing, stat, download, mount, and serve operations can trigger the leak during normal use. This issue is fixed in version 1.75.1.
