CVE-2026-88013: rclone: http backend forwards custom/auth headers to a different host on redirect
Exfiltration of API keys / bearer tokens / session cookies configured for one host, to any host the (trusted-at-configuration-time) remote later redirects to. All operations on the http backend (list, stat, download, mount, serve) are affected. No special rclone privileges or unusual user interaction are needed beyond a normal sync/list/copy once the redirect exists.
