CWE-59  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.24 rclone to version 1.74.1-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rclone package and not the rclone package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.24 relevant fixed versions and status.

The "go bug" command writes to two files with predictable names in the system temporary directory (for example, "/tmp"). An attacker with access to the temporary directory can create a symlink in one of these names, causing "go bug" to overwrite the target of the symlink.
