When interpolating remote SFTP paths into PowerShell commands, rclone only escapes the ASCII apostrophe, allowing an attacker to craft a filename with smart quotes that closes the path literal and injects arbitrary PowerShell commands executed on the SFTP remote as the victim's SSH account.","affected":[{"package":{"name":"github.com/rclone/rclone","ecosystem":"Go"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.75.0"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"imports":[{"path":"github.com/rclone/rclone/backend/sftp","symbols":["Fs.About","Object.Hash","quoteOrEscapeShellPath"]}]}}],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/rclone/rclone/security/advisories/GHSA-2m8m-jhrm-w6j2"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/rclone/rclone/commit/e122fba1a57641b63a580aa26c026903a84e2e88"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/rclone/rclone/releases/tag/v1.75.0"}],"credits":[{"name":"GitHub: cyberlanc3r"}],"database_specific":{"url":"https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2026-6182","review_status":"REVIEWED"}}
