Use-after-free in libcurl's HTTP/2 stream-dependency handling affects a wide range of curl releases (7.88.0 through 8.20.0) when an application sets CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS or CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS_E, then calls curl_easy_reset() before curl_easy_cleanup(); the reset frees an internal priority structure that cleanup later re-accesses. Despite the NVD 9.8 CVSS rating, the flaw is only reachable through a specific application-controlled API call sequence rather than remote attacker input, and is tagged Information Disclosure. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low (0.21%, 11th percentile), and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Memory-safety defect (double-free) in curl's SASL authentication path affects versions 8.15.0 through 8.20.0 when built with GSASL support: the GSASL context is cleaned up twice without the intervening pointer being cleared, causing the same allocation to be free()'d twice. A malicious or malfunctioning mail/auth server exercising the SASL handshake could trigger the condition, potentially corrupting heap memory and at minimum crashing the client. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score is low (0.25%, 16th percentile) despite the headline CVSS of 9.8.
Denial of service in curl 8.16.0 through 8.20.0 lets a malicious WebSocket server exhaust all client memory by flooding it with rapid, sequential PING frames. Because curl auto-responds to PINGs by default and imposes no upper bound on memory buffered for unacknowledged frames, the queue of pending PONG responses grows unbounded until the process is OOM-killed. EPSS is low (0.21%, 11th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, consistent with an availability-only issue affecting the subset of deployments that actually use curl's WebSocket support.
Remote denial of service in curl and libcurl (versions 8.18.0 through 8.20.0) lets a malicious or compromised HTTP/3 server indefinitely stall a connecting client. The flaw lives in curl's QUIC UDP receive path, where zero-length UDP datagrams are discarded before they are counted against the per-call packet budget, so a peer that streams a continuous flood of empty datagrams keeps the receive loop spinning without ever making progress. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS risk is low (0.28%, 20th percentile), and impact is availability-only (no data compromise).
Host key verification bypass in libcurl affects applications using the CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION callback for SCP:// or SFTP:// transfers, where a server presenting a host key of a different type than the one already recorded in known_hosts is silently accepted instead of rejected. This lets a network-positioned attacker impersonate a trusted SSH server and mount a man-in-the-middle attack, exposing and tampering with transferred data. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS probability is low (0.19%, 9th percentile), reflecting the specific application configuration and attacker positioning required.
Information disclosure and integrity exposure in curl/libcurl occurs when a new transfer that uses STARTTLS to upgrade a connection may reuse an already-established live connection whose TLS configuration does not match the requested one, so data intended for a strictly-configured secure channel can traverse a connection negotiated under different (potentially weaker or unverified) TLS settings. The flaw affects a very wide range of curl releases from 7.30.0 through 8.20.0 and is tagged as Information Disclosure with high confidentiality and integrity impact (CVSS 8.1). It is not listed in CISA KEV, EPSS is low (0.20%, 9th percentile), and no public exploit code is identified at time of analysis.
SSH host-key verification bypass in curl/libcurl (versions through 8.20.0) lets a network man-in-the-middle silently impersonate an SFTP/SCP server when a user invokes curl with a schemeless URL plus '--proto-default sftp' (or scp). In this specific invocation the command-line tool layer misidentifies the scheme and skips setting CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_SHA256 and CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS, while libcurl still honors CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL and completes the connection, so curl connects to an unverified host without any error. Tagged an Authentication Bypass; EPSS is low (0.21%, 11th percentile) and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis.
Cross-origin credential leakage in libcurl (curl 7.10.6 through 8.20.0) causes the HTTP Digest 'Authorization:' header computed for one origin (hostA) to be wrongly reused on a subsequent transfer to a different origin (hostB) when an application reuses the same easy handle. This exposes Digest authentication credentials to an unintended, potentially attacker-controlled host, and is tracked as an Information Disclosure issue (EUVD-2026-41501). No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low at 0.25% (16th percentile) and it is not in CISA KEV, so this is a latent credential-exposure bug rather than a demonstrated mass-exploitation threat.
Incorrect mTLS connection reuse in libcurl (curl releases through 8.16.0) causes the library to reuse a pooled TLS connection even after client-certificate options - notably the private key - were changed in a way that should have forced a fresh handshake. Because those client-certificate settings were omitted from the connection-match logic, a later transfer can be sent over a connection authenticated with the wrong client identity, an integrity failure tagged as information disclosure. Rated CVSS 7.5 (C:N/I:H/A:N); EPSS is only 0.13% and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though a HackerOne report (#3733910) drove the private disclosure.
TLS certificate-trust confusion in libcurl (curl 8.17.0 through 8.20.0) lets a reused pooled connection retain trust in the native platform CA store even after the application reconfigures the same easy handle to use custom CA material for a later transfer. An attacker positioned to intercept traffic could present a certificate valid under the native store - which the application intended to no longer trust - to silently intercept or spoof the connection. Rated CVSS 9.1, but EPSS is only 0.20% (9th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, reflecting the narrow application-usage prerequisite rather than a broadly weaponizable flaw.
Use-after-free in libcurl 8.13.0 through 8.20.0 occurs when an application calls curl_easy_pause() from inside an event-based CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION callback, causing libcurl to write a flag through a struct pointer whose backing memory was just freed. Affected are applications built on the curl multi interface using event-based socket callbacks; the flaw can lead to memory corruption or limited information disclosure (tagged Information Disclosure) with low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, it is not in CISA KEV, and EPSS is low at 0.21% (11th percentile), consistent with a niche triggering pattern rather than mass exploitation.
Proxy credential leakage in libcurl (curl) occurs when a single reused easy handle drives sequential transfers through different environment-variable-configured proxies: after Digest-authenticating to proxyA, libcurl fails to reset the proxy authentication state, so the `Proxy-Authorization:` header meant for proxyA is resent to proxyB. Any application relying on handle reuse with env-var proxy settings and multiple upstream proxies can disclose proxyA's credentials to an unauthorized proxy operator. EPSS is low (0.25%, 16th percentile), it is not on CISA KEV, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis - this is a credential-confidentiality issue rather than a code-execution flaw.
Cross-domain cookie injection in curl (versions 7.46.0 through 8.20.0) lets a malicious or compromised HTTP server set 'super cookies' that bypass the Public Suffix List (PSL) safeguard, causing curl to scope attacker-supplied cookies to unrelated third-party domains and transmit them on later requests. Rated CVSS 9.1 and tagged as an authentication bypass, the flaw undermines cookie origin isolation, but EPSS is low at 0.22% (12th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis. A patched release is available from the curl project.
Proxy-credential leakage in libcurl (curl 8.8.0 through 8.20.0) occurs because a request to clear previously set proxy authentication credentials is silently ignored, so the stale username/password remain attached to the reused easy handle and are sent on later transfers that were never meant to use them. This is an information-disclosure defect (tagged Information Disclosure, EUVD-2026-41510) affecting applications that reuse libcurl handles across multiple proxied requests. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.25%, 16th percentile), consistent with a coding/logic flaw rather than a directly weaponizable remote bug.
Information disclosure in libcurl (curl 8.11.0 through 8.20.0) allows a network man-in-the-middle to capture sensitive request data when TLS early data (0-RTT) is combined with SSL session ID caching. If an application enables the CURLSSLOPT_EARLYDATA bit and leaves the session cache active, libcurl can transmit a resumed request's bytes on a reconnection before it enforces a certificate verification failure, so an attacker who impersonates the original host without a valid certificate may receive the leaked data. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.13%), reflecting the non-default configuration and active-MITM prerequisite.
Information disclosure in libcurl (versions 8.18.0 through 8.20.0) causes the HTTP Referer header to persist on a reused easy handle even after an application explicitly clears it by passing NULL to CURLOPT_REFERER. Because the internal referrer state is not reset, a previously set referrer string is silently re-sent on later requests, potentially leaking sensitive URL data (paths, tokens, or query parameters) to unintended destination servers. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS risk is low (0.21%, 11th percentile), and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Wrong connection reuse across different services in curl/libcurl up to 8.20.0 allows curl's connection pool to incorrectly match and reuse an existing connection when the target service differs from the one originally used to establish that connection. This is part of a coordinated batch of 19 CVEs fixed in curl 8.21.0, released June 24, 2026. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified; the curl project rates this LOW severity, consistent with limited real-world attack surface requiring specific multi-service usage patterns.
Credential disclosure in curl 8.11.1 through 8.20.0 (and earlier) lets curl silently substitute the wrong password when .netrc lookup is combined with a URL that carries a username but no password, such as https://user@example.com/. When no matching entry exists for the specified user, curl falls back to a different user's password stored for that same host and transmits it during authentication, potentially leaking one user's secret to a server or to an unintended account. Publicly available exploit-flow details exist via the originating HackerOne report; EPSS is low (0.20%, 9th percentile) and it is not in CISA KEV.
Improper SMB connection reuse in curl allows attackers to cause the library to send confidential request data over an attacker-controlled or unintended SMB connection, breaking the expected isolation between connections. The flaw affects a wide range of curl versions used in countless Linux distributions and embedded products, with a CVSS of 7.5 (confidentiality impact only). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though SSVC marks exploitation as POC and EPSS remains very low (0.02%, 5th percentile).
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%.
Proxy credentials in curl leak to unintended destinations when an HTTP redirect points to a proxy endpoint, exposing authentication material beyond its intended scope. This affects the curl library and CLI tool (haxx:curl) across a broad version range from 7.14.1 through 8.19.0, as enumerated in EUVD-2026-29927. A proof of concept exists per SSVC classification (Exploitation: poc), the vendor has issued a patch coordinated via oss-security and HackerOne report #3669637, and downstream distributors Red Hat (RHSA-2026:12916) and SUSE (multiple SU advisories) have released updates.
Connection reuse logic in curl ignores TLS requirements, causing sensitive data to be transmitted in cleartext over channels that should be TLS-encrypted. When curl's connection pool reuses an existing non-encrypted connection to fulfill a subsequent HTTPS request, credentials, tokens, or request payloads may traverse the network without encryption. Affects curl versions 7.20.0 through 8.19.0 (cpe:2.3:a:haxx:curl); no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, SSVC confirms exploitation: none, and EPSS stands at 0.01% (2nd percentile).
Wrong reuse of HTTP Negotiate-authenticated connections in curl exposes a high-integrity-impact vulnerability where subsequent HTTP requests may inherit an authentication context they should not, potentially allowing requests to be dispatched under incorrect Negotiate (Kerberos/NTLM/SPNEGO) credentials. Affecting an extraordinarily broad version range - curl 7.10.6 through at least 8.19.0 per EUVD data - this flaw was coordinated and disclosed by curl maintainer Daniel Stenberg via oss-security on 2026-04-29 alongside three related connection-reuse CVEs. No public exploit code has been identified and no active exploitation has been confirmed; a vendor-released patch is available, with downstream fixes confirmed by Red Hat (RHSA-2026:12916) and SUSE.
Curl's SMB implementation contains a use-after-free vulnerability that causes denial of service when processing consecutive requests to the same host, as the library incorrectly dereferences freed memory on subsequent connections. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability affecting Curl installations. An attacker can crash Curl-based applications or services by triggering multiple SMB requests, though remote code execution is not possible due to the nature of the memory corruption.
curl's HTTP proxy connection reuse mechanism fails to validate credential changes, allowing an attacker to intercept or manipulate traffic by leveraging an existing proxy connection established with different authentication. This affects users whose applications reuse proxy connections across requests with varying credentials, enabling credential confusion attacks. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, though a patch is available.
OAuth2 bearer token leakage in curl and .NET occurs when HTTP redirects are followed to a second hostname that matches entries in the .netrc configuration file, allowing attackers to obtain valid authentication tokens for unintended hosts. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability affecting curl and .NET applications that rely on OAuth2 authentication with automatic redirect handling. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) requires network access but no user interaction, and patches are available from vendors.
libcurl incorrectly reuses authenticated connections when processing Negotiate authentication requests, allowing an attacker with valid credentials to access resources authenticated under different user accounts. An authenticated attacker can exploit this connection pooling logic error to bypass authentication checks by reusing an existing connection that was authenticated with different credentials. This affects libcurl implementations using Negotiate authentication where multiple users access the same server.
When doing SSH-based transfers using either SCP or SFTP, and setting the known_hosts file, libcurl could still mistakenly accept connecting to hosts *not present* in the specified file if they were added as recognized in the libssh *global* known_hosts file. [CVSS 5.3 MEDIUM]
When doing TLS related transfers with reused easy or multi handles and altering the `CURLSSLOPT_NO_PARTIALCHAIN` option, libcurl could accidentally reuse a CA store cached in memory for which the partial chain option was reversed. Contrary to the user's wishes and expectations. [CVSS 5.3 MEDIUM]
When an OAuth2 bearer token is used for an HTTP(S) transfer, and that transfer performs a cross-protocol redirect to a second URL that uses an IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP scheme, curl might wrongly pass on the bearer token to the new target host. [CVSS 5.3 MEDIUM]
When doing multi-threaded LDAPS transfers (LDAP over TLS) with libcurl, changing TLS options in one thread would inadvertently change them globally and therefore possibly also affect other concurrently setup transfers. [CVSS 6.3 MEDIUM]
When using `CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY` option with libcurl or `--pinnedpubkey` with the curl tool,curl should check the public key of the server certificate to verify the peer. [CVSS 5.9 MEDIUM]

Denial of Service vulnerability in libcurl's WebSocket implementation that allows a malicious server to send a specially crafted packet triggering an endless busy-loop, forcing applications to kill the affected thread or process to recover. This affects all libcurl versions with WebSocket support, with CVSS 7.5 (High) severity due to network-accessible attack vector requiring no authentication. The vulnerability has high real-world impact for any application using libcurl for WebSocket connections, though exploitation requires active malicious server control.

A double-close vulnerability exists in libcurl when tearing down connection channels after threaded name resolution, causing the same eventfd file descriptor to be closed twice. This affects curl version 8.11.1 and various NetApp products that bundle libcurl, potentially leading to file descriptor confusion, limited information disclosure, and high availability impact. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available (HackerOne report 2954286), and the vulnerability has a notably high EPSS score of 6.37% (91st percentile), indicating elevated real-world exploitation likelihood.
When asked to use a `.netrc` file for credentials **and** to follow HTTP redirects, curl could leak the password used for the first host to the followed-to host under certain circumstances. Rated low severity (CVSS 3.4), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.

Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.1), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. This Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability could allow attackers to read data from memory outside the intended buffer boundaries.
curl version curl 7.54.1 to and including curl 7.59.0 contains a CWE-122: Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in denial of service and more that can result in curl might overflow a heap based. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. This Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability could allow attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes.
A buffer over-read exists in curl 7.20.0 to and including curl 7.58.0 in the RTSP+RTP handling code that allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or information leakage. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.1), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. This Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability could allow attackers to read data from memory outside the intended buffer boundaries.
A NULL pointer dereference exists in curl 7.21.0 to and including curl 7.58.0 in the LDAP code that allows an attacker to cause a denial of service. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.5), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity.
Use-after-free in libcurl's HTTP/2 stream-dependency handling affects a wide range of curl releases (7.88.0 through 8.20.0) when an application sets CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS or CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS_E, then calls curl_easy_reset() before curl_easy_cleanup(); the reset frees an internal priority structure that cleanup later re-accesses. Despite the NVD 9.8 CVSS rating, the flaw is only reachable through a specific application-controlled API call sequence rather than remote attacker input, and is tagged Information Disclosure. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low (0.21%, 11th percentile), and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Memory-safety defect (double-free) in curl's SASL authentication path affects versions 8.15.0 through 8.20.0 when built with GSASL support: the GSASL context is cleaned up twice without the intervening pointer being cleared, causing the same allocation to be free()'d twice. A malicious or malfunctioning mail/auth server exercising the SASL handshake could trigger the condition, potentially corrupting heap memory and at minimum crashing the client. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score is low (0.25%, 16th percentile) despite the headline CVSS of 9.8.
Denial of service in curl 8.16.0 through 8.20.0 lets a malicious WebSocket server exhaust all client memory by flooding it with rapid, sequential PING frames. Because curl auto-responds to PINGs by default and imposes no upper bound on memory buffered for unacknowledged frames, the queue of pending PONG responses grows unbounded until the process is OOM-killed. EPSS is low (0.21%, 11th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, consistent with an availability-only issue affecting the subset of deployments that actually use curl's WebSocket support.
Remote denial of service in curl and libcurl (versions 8.18.0 through 8.20.0) lets a malicious or compromised HTTP/3 server indefinitely stall a connecting client. The flaw lives in curl's QUIC UDP receive path, where zero-length UDP datagrams are discarded before they are counted against the per-call packet budget, so a peer that streams a continuous flood of empty datagrams keeps the receive loop spinning without ever making progress. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS risk is low (0.28%, 20th percentile), and impact is availability-only (no data compromise).
Host key verification bypass in libcurl affects applications using the CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION callback for SCP:// or SFTP:// transfers, where a server presenting a host key of a different type than the one already recorded in known_hosts is silently accepted instead of rejected. This lets a network-positioned attacker impersonate a trusted SSH server and mount a man-in-the-middle attack, exposing and tampering with transferred data. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS probability is low (0.19%, 9th percentile), reflecting the specific application configuration and attacker positioning required.
Information disclosure and integrity exposure in curl/libcurl occurs when a new transfer that uses STARTTLS to upgrade a connection may reuse an already-established live connection whose TLS configuration does not match the requested one, so data intended for a strictly-configured secure channel can traverse a connection negotiated under different (potentially weaker or unverified) TLS settings. The flaw affects a very wide range of curl releases from 7.30.0 through 8.20.0 and is tagged as Information Disclosure with high confidentiality and integrity impact (CVSS 8.1). It is not listed in CISA KEV, EPSS is low (0.20%, 9th percentile), and no public exploit code is identified at time of analysis.
SSH host-key verification bypass in curl/libcurl (versions through 8.20.0) lets a network man-in-the-middle silently impersonate an SFTP/SCP server when a user invokes curl with a schemeless URL plus '--proto-default sftp' (or scp). In this specific invocation the command-line tool layer misidentifies the scheme and skips setting CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_SHA256 and CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS, while libcurl still honors CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL and completes the connection, so curl connects to an unverified host without any error. Tagged an Authentication Bypass; EPSS is low (0.21%, 11th percentile) and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis.
Cross-origin credential leakage in libcurl (curl 7.10.6 through 8.20.0) causes the HTTP Digest 'Authorization:' header computed for one origin (hostA) to be wrongly reused on a subsequent transfer to a different origin (hostB) when an application reuses the same easy handle. This exposes Digest authentication credentials to an unintended, potentially attacker-controlled host, and is tracked as an Information Disclosure issue (EUVD-2026-41501). No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low at 0.25% (16th percentile) and it is not in CISA KEV, so this is a latent credential-exposure bug rather than a demonstrated mass-exploitation threat.
Incorrect mTLS connection reuse in libcurl (curl releases through 8.16.0) causes the library to reuse a pooled TLS connection even after client-certificate options - notably the private key - were changed in a way that should have forced a fresh handshake. Because those client-certificate settings were omitted from the connection-match logic, a later transfer can be sent over a connection authenticated with the wrong client identity, an integrity failure tagged as information disclosure. Rated CVSS 7.5 (C:N/I:H/A:N); EPSS is only 0.13% and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though a HackerOne report (#3733910) drove the private disclosure.
TLS certificate-trust confusion in libcurl (curl 8.17.0 through 8.20.0) lets a reused pooled connection retain trust in the native platform CA store even after the application reconfigures the same easy handle to use custom CA material for a later transfer. An attacker positioned to intercept traffic could present a certificate valid under the native store - which the application intended to no longer trust - to silently intercept or spoof the connection. Rated CVSS 9.1, but EPSS is only 0.20% (9th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, reflecting the narrow application-usage prerequisite rather than a broadly weaponizable flaw.
Use-after-free in libcurl 8.13.0 through 8.20.0 occurs when an application calls curl_easy_pause() from inside an event-based CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION callback, causing libcurl to write a flag through a struct pointer whose backing memory was just freed. Affected are applications built on the curl multi interface using event-based socket callbacks; the flaw can lead to memory corruption or limited information disclosure (tagged Information Disclosure) with low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, it is not in CISA KEV, and EPSS is low at 0.21% (11th percentile), consistent with a niche triggering pattern rather than mass exploitation.
Proxy credential leakage in libcurl (curl) occurs when a single reused easy handle drives sequential transfers through different environment-variable-configured proxies: after Digest-authenticating to proxyA, libcurl fails to reset the proxy authentication state, so the `Proxy-Authorization:` header meant for proxyA is resent to proxyB. Any application relying on handle reuse with env-var proxy settings and multiple upstream proxies can disclose proxyA's credentials to an unauthorized proxy operator. EPSS is low (0.25%, 16th percentile), it is not on CISA KEV, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis - this is a credential-confidentiality issue rather than a code-execution flaw.
Cross-domain cookie injection in curl (versions 7.46.0 through 8.20.0) lets a malicious or compromised HTTP server set 'super cookies' that bypass the Public Suffix List (PSL) safeguard, causing curl to scope attacker-supplied cookies to unrelated third-party domains and transmit them on later requests. Rated CVSS 9.1 and tagged as an authentication bypass, the flaw undermines cookie origin isolation, but EPSS is low at 0.22% (12th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis. A patched release is available from the curl project.
Proxy-credential leakage in libcurl (curl 8.8.0 through 8.20.0) occurs because a request to clear previously set proxy authentication credentials is silently ignored, so the stale username/password remain attached to the reused easy handle and are sent on later transfers that were never meant to use them. This is an information-disclosure defect (tagged Information Disclosure, EUVD-2026-41510) affecting applications that reuse libcurl handles across multiple proxied requests. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.25%, 16th percentile), consistent with a coding/logic flaw rather than a directly weaponizable remote bug.
Information disclosure in libcurl (curl 8.11.0 through 8.20.0) allows a network man-in-the-middle to capture sensitive request data when TLS early data (0-RTT) is combined with SSL session ID caching. If an application enables the CURLSSLOPT_EARLYDATA bit and leaves the session cache active, libcurl can transmit a resumed request's bytes on a reconnection before it enforces a certificate verification failure, so an attacker who impersonates the original host without a valid certificate may receive the leaked data. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.13%), reflecting the non-default configuration and active-MITM prerequisite.
Information disclosure in libcurl (versions 8.18.0 through 8.20.0) causes the HTTP Referer header to persist on a reused easy handle even after an application explicitly clears it by passing NULL to CURLOPT_REFERER. Because the internal referrer state is not reset, a previously set referrer string is silently re-sent on later requests, potentially leaking sensitive URL data (paths, tokens, or query parameters) to unintended destination servers. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS risk is low (0.21%, 11th percentile), and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Wrong connection reuse across different services in curl/libcurl up to 8.20.0 allows curl's connection pool to incorrectly match and reuse an existing connection when the target service differs from the one originally used to establish that connection. This is part of a coordinated batch of 19 CVEs fixed in curl 8.21.0, released June 24, 2026. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified; the curl project rates this LOW severity, consistent with limited real-world attack surface requiring specific multi-service usage patterns.
Credential disclosure in curl 8.11.1 through 8.20.0 (and earlier) lets curl silently substitute the wrong password when .netrc lookup is combined with a URL that carries a username but no password, such as https://user@example.com/. When no matching entry exists for the specified user, curl falls back to a different user's password stored for that same host and transmits it during authentication, potentially leaking one user's secret to a server or to an unintended account. Publicly available exploit-flow details exist via the originating HackerOne report; EPSS is low (0.20%, 9th percentile) and it is not in CISA KEV.
Improper SMB connection reuse in curl allows attackers to cause the library to send confidential request data over an attacker-controlled or unintended SMB connection, breaking the expected isolation between connections. The flaw affects a wide range of curl versions used in countless Linux distributions and embedded products, with a CVSS of 7.5 (confidentiality impact only). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though SSVC marks exploitation as POC and EPSS remains very low (0.02%, 5th percentile).
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%.
Proxy credentials in curl leak to unintended destinations when an HTTP redirect points to a proxy endpoint, exposing authentication material beyond its intended scope. This affects the curl library and CLI tool (haxx:curl) across a broad version range from 7.14.1 through 8.19.0, as enumerated in EUVD-2026-29927. A proof of concept exists per SSVC classification (Exploitation: poc), the vendor has issued a patch coordinated via oss-security and HackerOne report #3669637, and downstream distributors Red Hat (RHSA-2026:12916) and SUSE (multiple SU advisories) have released updates.
Connection reuse logic in curl ignores TLS requirements, causing sensitive data to be transmitted in cleartext over channels that should be TLS-encrypted. When curl's connection pool reuses an existing non-encrypted connection to fulfill a subsequent HTTPS request, credentials, tokens, or request payloads may traverse the network without encryption. Affects curl versions 7.20.0 through 8.19.0 (cpe:2.3:a:haxx:curl); no public exploit is identified at time of analysis, SSVC confirms exploitation: none, and EPSS stands at 0.01% (2nd percentile).
Wrong reuse of HTTP Negotiate-authenticated connections in curl exposes a high-integrity-impact vulnerability where subsequent HTTP requests may inherit an authentication context they should not, potentially allowing requests to be dispatched under incorrect Negotiate (Kerberos/NTLM/SPNEGO) credentials. Affecting an extraordinarily broad version range - curl 7.10.6 through at least 8.19.0 per EUVD data - this flaw was coordinated and disclosed by curl maintainer Daniel Stenberg via oss-security on 2026-04-29 alongside three related connection-reuse CVEs. No public exploit code has been identified and no active exploitation has been confirmed; a vendor-released patch is available, with downstream fixes confirmed by Red Hat (RHSA-2026:12916) and SUSE.
Curl's SMB implementation contains a use-after-free vulnerability that causes denial of service when processing consecutive requests to the same host, as the library incorrectly dereferences freed memory on subsequent connections. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability affecting Curl installations. An attacker can crash Curl-based applications or services by triggering multiple SMB requests, though remote code execution is not possible due to the nature of the memory corruption.
curl's HTTP proxy connection reuse mechanism fails to validate credential changes, allowing an attacker to intercept or manipulate traffic by leveraging an existing proxy connection established with different authentication. This affects users whose applications reuse proxy connections across requests with varying credentials, enabling credential confusion attacks. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, though a patch is available.
OAuth2 bearer token leakage in curl and .NET occurs when HTTP redirects are followed to a second hostname that matches entries in the .netrc configuration file, allowing attackers to obtain valid authentication tokens for unintended hosts. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability affecting curl and .NET applications that rely on OAuth2 authentication with automatic redirect handling. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.3) requires network access but no user interaction, and patches are available from vendors.
libcurl incorrectly reuses authenticated connections when processing Negotiate authentication requests, allowing an attacker with valid credentials to access resources authenticated under different user accounts. An authenticated attacker can exploit this connection pooling logic error to bypass authentication checks by reusing an existing connection that was authenticated with different credentials. This affects libcurl implementations using Negotiate authentication where multiple users access the same server.
When doing SSH-based transfers using either SCP or SFTP, and setting the known_hosts file, libcurl could still mistakenly accept connecting to hosts *not present* in the specified file if they were added as recognized in the libssh *global* known_hosts file. [CVSS 5.3 MEDIUM]
When doing TLS related transfers with reused easy or multi handles and altering the `CURLSSLOPT_NO_PARTIALCHAIN` option, libcurl could accidentally reuse a CA store cached in memory for which the partial chain option was reversed. Contrary to the user's wishes and expectations. [CVSS 5.3 MEDIUM]
When an OAuth2 bearer token is used for an HTTP(S) transfer, and that transfer performs a cross-protocol redirect to a second URL that uses an IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP scheme, curl might wrongly pass on the bearer token to the new target host. [CVSS 5.3 MEDIUM]
When doing multi-threaded LDAPS transfers (LDAP over TLS) with libcurl, changing TLS options in one thread would inadvertently change them globally and therefore possibly also affect other concurrently setup transfers. [CVSS 6.3 MEDIUM]
When using `CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY` option with libcurl or `--pinnedpubkey` with the curl tool,curl should check the public key of the server certificate to verify the peer. [CVSS 5.9 MEDIUM]

A double-close vulnerability exists in libcurl when tearing down connection channels after threaded name resolution, causing the same eventfd file descriptor to be closed twice. This affects curl version 8.11.1 and various NetApp products that bundle libcurl, potentially leading to file descriptor confusion, limited information disclosure, and high availability impact. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available (HackerOne report 2954286), and the vulnerability has a notably high EPSS score of 6.37% (91st percentile), indicating elevated real-world exploitation likelihood.
When asked to use a `.netrc` file for credentials **and** to follow HTTP redirects, curl could leak the password used for the first host to the followed-to host under certain circumstances. Rated low severity (CVSS 3.4), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
