Prior to v1.75.0, rclone interpolates remote SFTP paths into PowerShell hash commands in backend/sftp/sftp.go, and quoteOrEscapeShellPath escapes only ASCII apostrophe even though PowerShell treats U+2018, U+2019, U+201A, and U+201B as single-quote delimiters, allowing an attacker-controlled filename to terminate the intended path literal and append PowerShell statements that execute as the victim SSH account when server-side hashing is invoked. This issue is fixed in v1.75.0.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Package advisory (CVE-2026-71312)\n\nAffected packages:\n\n- `github.com/rclone/rclone <= 1.74.4`\n\nPatched in:\n\n- `github.com/rclone/rclone 1.75.0`\n\nSource: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-2m8m-jhrm-w6j2","depth":"twilight","depthScore":44,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":44,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
