CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

Rclone versions prior to 1.74.4 are vulnerable to a flaw that fails to remove the X-Amz-Security-Token header during S3 redirects from HTTPS to HTTP, potentially exposing AWS STS session tokens in plaintext. This could allow attackers to intercept sensitive session tokens through man-in-the-middle attacks. Organizations using rclone for S3 interactions should prioritize updating to mitigate the risk of credential theft.

Original NVD Description
