Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 10 Sept 2026, 23:02 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `github.com/rclone/rclone` (Go): affected `>=1.49.0, <1.75.1`; fixed in `1.75.1`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> The rclone http backend, versions 1.49.0 up to but not including 1.75.1, resends custom headers such as secret tokens or cookies to a different host when the server redirects the request. An attacker who controls or can influence a redirect from the configured server can capture those headers at the new destination, for example during a normal list, copy or download. Upgrade to rclone 1.75.1 or later.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-486v-q2wf-fp2r>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
