REDHAT-BUG-2461202: Medium severity curl curl vulnerability

Published Apr 23, 2026
·
Updated

A flaw was found in curl. When curl is configured to use specific proxies for different URL schemes, and a redirect occurs from a URL using a credentialed proxy to a URL using a non-credentialed proxy, curl may inadvertently send the credentials of the first proxy to the second. This can lead to the unauthorized disclosure of proxy credentials (CWE-522), potentially allowing an attacker to gain unauthorized access or information.
