Adjacent vector because on-path interception is required; AC:H due to the dependency on the server emitting a same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP redirect; no confidentiality impact beyond credential theft, no integrity or availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

rclone versions before v1.75.0 fail to reject transport downgrades in redirect handling, allowing Basic authorization and Cookie headers to be replayed over plaintext HTTP after same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP redirects. An on-path attacker observing the plaintext hop can capture and reuse credentials to perform WebDAV operations with the compromised account's permissions.

AnalysisAI

Credential exposure in rclone's WebDAV backend allows an adjacent on-path attacker to capture and replay Basic authentication passwords, bearer tokens, or session cookies transmitted in cleartext after a same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP redirect. All rclone versions through v1.74.0-240 are affected when the WebDAV backend is configured with Basic credentials or cookie-based authentication. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Attain adjacent network position
Delivery
Wait for rclone WebDAV session initiation
Exploit
Trigger or observe same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP redirect from gateway
Execution
rclone forwards Basic auth and cookies over plaintext HTTP
Persist
Intercept cleartext credentials in transit
Impact
Replay credentials for unauthorized WebDAV operations

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the rclone WebDAV backend must be configured with Basic authentication credentials, bearer tokens, or session cookies - rclone installations using token-only backends (OAuth, S3, etc.) are not affected; (2) the WebDAV endpoint, an intermediate load balancer, gateway, or CDN in the path must issue a same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP redirect during a rclone session - this is not a default WebDAV server behavior, but can result from misconfiguration, gateway policy, or an adversarial endpoint; (3) the attacker must hold an adjacent or on-path network position capable of observing the plaintext HTTP hop after the redirect is followed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:A/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N) reflects a realistic but constrained threat: adjacent network access is required (AV:A), exploitation complexity is high (AC:H), and a specific attack precondition must be met (AT:P) - the WebDAV endpoint, gateway, or accelerator must emit a same-host HTTPS-to-HTTP redirect. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with an adjacent network position - for example, on the same LAN, VLAN, or cloud subnet - intercepts traffic from a host running rclone against a WebDAV endpoint. The WebDAV server or an intermediate gateway issues a legitimate 307 Temporary Redirect from the HTTPS endpoint to an HTTP listener on the same hostname and a different port. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: v1.75.0. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
