CVE-2026-79780
Published:August 25, 2026
Updated:September 24, 2026
rclone before v1.75.0 fails to sanitize IBM IAM bearer tokens and SSE-C encryption keys during S3 redirect callbacks, allowing credentials to be preserved across scheme or host changes. Attackers observing network traffic from a trusted endpoint can capture reusable IBM IAM tokens on same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades or SSE-C keys on cross-origin redirects to access protected S3 objects.
