GHSA-gx4c-2hqx-cw2r: rclone: S3 backend does not strip X-Amz-Security-Token on a same-host HTTPS->HTTP redirect

August 5, 2026

Disclosure of the AWS STS session token (X-Amz-Security-Token) in cleartext for the remainder of its validity window. This is the exact class of leak that e7b1eb774 was written to close — it just doesn’t cover the scheme-downgrade axis of “crossing a host”.
