CVE-2026-88046

### Summary Multiple backends, when given a specially crafted object to copy, can escape the backend confinement. | Backend | Keep/Close | Per-backend severity | |---|---|---| | sftp | Medium | Real filesystem escape, fires under default encoding. | | smb | Low-Medium | Escapes to a different SMB share the credential can reach. | | ftp | Low | Real, leading-`..` overshoot PoC is partly neutralized by encoding; escape bounded to at/below the login base. | | webdav | Low | Server-side ACLs are the real boundary. | | b2 | Low | Same-account sibling **bucket** crossing on a flat keyspace. | | swift | Low | Same, container. | | qingstor | Low | Same. | | oracleobjectstorage | Low | Same. | | internetarchive | Low | IA items are owner-writable only; confined to user's own items. | | storj | Low | Can retarget a different bucket in the same access grant. | | filelu | Low | Confined to the user's own account. | | shade | Low | Confined to the user's own drive. | | sia | Low | siad API password already grants full-daemon access. | ## Root cause rclone core does **not** sanitize `..` in a source object's `Remote()` - verified: nothing in `fs/march`, `fs/sync`, `fs/list`, or `fs/operations` rejects `..` segments before the name reaches the destination backend's `Put`/`Update`/`Mkdir`. Confinement is therefore each backend's responsibility, and these backends join `root + remote` without a check. This divides into two classes: - **Bucket based backends** - `bucket.Split(path.Join(f.root, rootRelativePath))`: - `backend/b2/b2.go:404`, `backend/swift/swift.go:464`, `backend/qingstor/qingstor.go:198`, `backend/oracleobjectstorage/oracleobjectstorage.go:245`, `backend/internetarchive/internetarchive.go:1016`, `backend/smb/smb.go:885`, `backend/storj/fs.go:289`. - `path.Join` collapses `..` on the standard (ASCII) form **before** encoding is applied (e.g. `FromStandardPath(path.Join(...))` at `backend/b2/b2.go:1641`), so `EncodeDot` never gets the chance to neutralize the
