CVE-2026-8925

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in curl versions 7.65.0 to 7.82.0 that allows reusing a connection using an IPv6 address with a different zone id.

An improper authentication vulnerability exists in curl versions 7.33.0 to 7.82.0 which might allow reuse of OAUTH2-authenticated connections without properly ensuring that the connection was authenticated with the same credentials. This affects SASL-enabled protocols: SMPTP(S), IMAP(S), POP3(S), and LDAP(S) (openldap only).

When curl is told to use the Certificate Status Request TLS extension (OCSP stapling) to verify the server certificate, it might fail to detect some OCSP problems and wrongly consider the response as fine if the returned status reports another error than expected.

When curl is asked to use HSTS, the expiry time for a subdomain might overwrite a parent domain's cache entry, making it end sooner or later than otherwise intended. This affects applications using HSTS and URLs with the insecure HTTP:// scheme.

When curl is asked to use a `.netrc` file for credentials and to follow HTTP redirects, it could leak the password used for the first host to the followed-to host under certain circumstances. This flaw only manifests if the netrc file has an entry matching the redirect target hostname.

When curl uses a .netrc file for credentials and a URL with a username (without password) is specified, curl may wrongly retrieve and use the password of another user from .netrc for that host if no match exists for the specified user.

A flaw in curl's cookie parsing logic allows a malicious HTTP server to set "super cookies" that bypass the Public Suffix List check, enabling injection of cookies that curl scopes and sends to unrelated third-party domains.

CVE-2023-38545 is a vulnerability related to heap buffer overflow during the SOCKS5 proxy handshake in curl. The issue arises when curl passes a hostname that is too long to the proxy, leading to incorrect data copying.

A Set-Cookie header using a tab (ASCII 9) instead of a space (ASCII 32) immediately before the Secure attribute causes curl to store the cookie without its Secure flag. The cookie might then wrongfully be sent over plaintext HTTP on subsequent requests to the same host.

A vulnerability in curl causes the tool layer to skip initialization of critical SSH security options like CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_SHA256 and CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS when using a schemeless URL with `--proto-default sftp` (or scp), while libcurl establishes the SFTP/SCP connection. This results in curl connecting to an unverified SSH remote host without error.
