There is no fixed version for Debian:13 rclone.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rclone package and not the rclone package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

rclone versions before v1.75.0 fail to reject transport downgrades in redirect handling, allowing Basic authorization and Cookie headers to be replayed over plaintext HTTP after same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP redirects. An on-path attacker observing the plaintext hop can capture and reuse credentials to perform WebDAV operations with the compromised account's permissions.
