41th percentile - higher than 41% of all known CVEs

Summary

During SSH-based transfers using SCP or SFTP, when public key authentication is requested, curl incorrectly asks and authenticates using a locally running SSH agent.

Risk Assessment

This may lead to unauthorized access to remote systems if the SSH agent has loaded keys that should not be used in that context.

Recommendation

Update curl to a patched version and consider disabling the SSH agent for transfers if not required.

Original NVD description (English source)

When doing SSH-based transfers using either SCP or SFTP, and asked to do public key authentication, curl would wrongly still ask and authenticate using a locally running SSH agent.
