Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
rclone versions >= v1.72.0 and <= v1.74.4 (fixed in v1.75.0) contain multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities in the archive backend's SquashFS parser, which relies on the github.com/diskfs/go-diskfs dependency. The parser fails to validate attacker-controlled superblock and metadata values before use. An attacker who can place or modify a SquashFS image in storage exposed through an rclone :archive: remote can craft a malicious image that triggers an integer division-by-zero panic (zero block size), an out-of-bounds slice panic (out-of-range inode metadata offset), or a non-progress CPU loop (truncated metadata stream). Variants 1 and 2 terminate the rclone process and, via 'rclone serve sftp', can crash the entire SFTP server; variant 3 causes sustained CPU consumption. Parsing is lazy, so a victim or remote client must address or descend into the malicious archive object to trigger it.
AnalysisAI
Denial-of-service vulnerabilities in rclone's archive backend SquashFS parser allow an attacker with write access to rclone-exposed storage to crash the rclone process or exhaust CPU. Affected versions v1.72.0 through v1.74.4 fail to validate attacker-controlled superblock and inode metadata values sourced from the go-diskfs dependency before use, enabling three distinct panic/loop conditions. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires three concrete conditions. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VA:H) scores 7.1 and accurately reflects the attack surface: network-reachable, low complexity, requiring only low-level write privileges to the storage backend, with high availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade rclone to v1.75.0 or later; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by the security advisory at https://github.com/rclone/rclone/security/advisories/GHSA-6jcg-q3wp-x2f4. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all production systems running rclone versions v1.72.0 through v1.74.4 with the archive backend enabled, prioritizing instances exposed via 'rclone serve sftp' that process customer or critical business data. …
