  - rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage
    providers. From v1.51.0 until v1.75.0, the local backend in backend/local/local.go relies on the
    configurable filename encoder to prevent remote filename data from becoming operating-system path syntax,
    so a local destination using Slash, None, Raw, or on Windows an encoding that preserves backslash can
    decode a standard-encoded fullwidth dot-dot component or native backslash form into an actual parent-
    directory component before filepath.Join resolves it outside the configured local root, allowing an
    attacker-controlled source object to create or overwrite files outside the selected destination directory
    as the rclone process. This issue is fixed in v1.75.0. (CVE-2026-71313)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
