Nick Craig-Wood 1154afebee local: stop --links symlinks escaping the destination directory CVE-2026-54572
With -l/--links rclone recreates a .rclonelink object as a symlink. A
malicious or compromised source could serve a symlink whose target points
outside the destination, plus a sibling object whose path traverses it, so
that rclone followed the planted symlink and wrote outside the destination
causing arbitrary file write.

When translating symlinks, rclone now performs all destination writes
(directory creation, file writes and symlink creation) through an os.Root
anchored at the destination. os.Root resolves every path component relative
to the destination's file descriptor and refuses any that escapes the root,
even under concurrent modification, so a planted symlink can never be
traversed out of the destination.

Symlinks are still reproduced verbatim - including ones whose target points
outside the destination - so backups remain faithful. Only writing
*through* such a link is refused. In-tree symlinks are unaffected.
