Prior to 1.75.1, when backend/local runs with --links, a source .rclonelink object can plant a symlink in the destination and later directory metadata is applied through that path. MkdirMetadata, writeMetadataToFile, and setTimes operate when Directory.translatedLink=false, so os.Chown, os.Chmod, os.Chtimes, and birth-time handling can bypass os.Root confinement and follow the symlink. An attacker controlling source contents can therefore apply selected ownership, permissions, modification times, or birth times to a file or directory outside the destination, with --metadata required for chmod and chown while modification time is applied by the normal directory workflow. This issue is fixed in version 1.75.1.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-10T16:18:08.637+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-09-15T15:17:24.307+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · security-advisories@github.com · Secondary","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L","score":7.1,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/rclone/rclone/commit/17b0c03338a857bcb0a68d2d4c82ddbdec3f7893","https://github.com/rclone/rclone/commit/a7ab39d3d1958afa1446982c1dc4e4a73a887e3e","https://github.com/rclone/rclone/releases/tag/v1.75.1","https://github.com/rclone/rclone/security/advisories/GHSA-f8g7-2xjc-7mfh"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-88016","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Modified","weaknesses":["CWE-59","CWE-281"],"productCriteria":["cpe:2.3:a:rclone:rclone:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-09-10T16:18:08.637","lastModified":"2026-09-15T15:17:24.307"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
