| summary: Command execution via PowerShell smart quotes in github.com/rclone/rclone |
| description: |- |
| PowerShell treats several Unicode smart-quote characters (U+2018, U+2019, |
| U+201A, U+201B) as single-quote delimiters in addition to ASCII apostrophe. When |
| interpolating remote SFTP paths into PowerShell commands, rclone only escapes |
| the ASCII apostrophe, allowing an attacker to craft a filename with smart quotes |
| that closes the path literal and injects arbitrary PowerShell commands executed |
| on the SFTP remote as the victim's SSH account. |
