Answer in brief
CVE-2026-41176 records a Critical severity (CVSS 9.8) vulnerability in Rclone: Unauthenticated options/set allows runtime auth bypass, leading to sensitive operations and command execution. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps rclone/rclone (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. The RC endpoint `options/set` is exposed without `AuthRequired: true`, but it can mutate global runtime configuration, including the RC option block itself. Starting in version 1.45.0 and prior to version 1.73.5, an unauthenticated attacker can set `rc.NoAuth=true`, which disables the authorization gate for many RC methods registered with `AuthRequired: true` on reachable RC servers that are started without global HTTP authentication. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive administrative functionality, including configuration and operational RC methods. Version 1.73.5 patches the issue.
