Secret disclosure via cross-host redirect header forwarding
Published Sep 10, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026
Sensitive-information exposure in Rclone rclone 1.49.0 through 1.75.0 allows remote attackers to obtain configured HTTP headers via redirects. The HTTP backend adds configured headers to requests but uses a client without a backend-specific redirect policy, causing nonstandard headers to follow cross-host redirects and protected headers to survive same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP redirects. Exploitation requires an HTTP remote with configured secret headers and a redirect controlled or influenced by the remote endpoint; successful exploitation discloses those secrets without altering data or interrupting service.
