CVE-2026-41179: RClone: Unauthenticated operations/fsinfo allows attacker-controlled backend instantiation and local command execution

April 22, 2026 (updated April 23, 2026)

The RC endpoint operations/fsinfo is exposed without AuthRequired: true and accepts attacker-controlled fs input. Because rc.GetFs(...) supports inline backend definitions, an unauthenticated attacker can instantiate an attacker-controlled backend on demand. For the WebDAV backend, bearer_token_command is executed during backend initialization, making single-request unauthenticated local command execution possible on reachable RC deployments without global HTTP authentication.
