Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via oss-security. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

Cookie leakage in curl (libcurl) versions 7.71.0 through 8.19.0 allows remote servers to receive cookies intended for a different host when a stale custom cookie host value persists across requests. The flaw, tracked as CWE-319 (cleartext transmission of sensitive information), carries a CVSS 7.5 and SSVC 'partial' technical impact, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and an EPSS of 0.01%.

Technical ContextAI

curl/libcurl is the ubiquitous HTTP(S) client library maintained by Daniel Stenberg and the curl project (CPE cpe:2.3:a:haxx:curl). The bug is in curl's cookie engine: when an application sets a custom cookie host (via CURLOPT_COOKIELIST or similar APIs) and the easy handle is reused for a subsequent request to a different host, the previously-applied custom host scoping is not properly reset. CWE-319 captures the root cause class - sensitive data (the cookie) is transmitted in cleartext context to a party not entitled to it. Because the underlying transport may still be TLS, the integrity breach is one of cookie-scope confusion rather than wire-level eavesdropping.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory - upgrade to the fixed curl release noted in the upstream advisory at https://curl.se/docs/CVE-2026-6276.html (consult the JSON form at https://curl.se/docs/CVE-2026-6276.json for the precise fix commit and tagged version, which were not enumerated in the provided data). For distribution-managed deployments apply Red Hat RHSA-2026:12916 or the relevant SUSE updates (SUSE-SU-2026:1717/1940/21440/21452). If patching is delayed, compensating controls include avoiding reuse of curl easy handles across requests to different hosts when CURLOPT_COOKIELIST or custom cookie host values are set, calling curl_easy_reset() between such requests, or disabling persistent cookie jars in affected automation; the trade-off is reduced connection reuse and lost cookie state between requests, which can break session-bound workflows.
