Insecure handling of symlinks with --links and --metadata in rclone while copying to local disk allows unprivileged users to indirectly modify ownership and permissions on symlink target files when a superuser or privileged process performs a copy. This vulnerability could enable privilege escalation and unauthorized access to critical system files, compromising system integrity, confidentiality, and availability. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.68.2.","affected":[{"package":{"name":"rclone","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/rclone"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"1.59.0"},{"fixed":"1.68.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/rclone/BIT-rclone-2024-52522.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X"}]}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/rclone/rclone/commit/01ccf204f42b4f68541b16843292439090a2dcf0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/rclone/rclone/security/advisories/GHSA-hrxh-9w67-g4cv"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-52522"}],"database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:rclone:rclone:*:*:*:*:*:go:*:*"],"severity":"Medium"}}
