Doc Text:
A flaw was found in curl. When an OAuth2 bearer token is used for an HTTP(S) transfer that redirects to a second URL, curl could unintentionally leak the token. This occurs if the second hostname has entries in the `.netrc` file, allowing the bearer token intended for the first host to be sent to the redirected host. This information disclosure could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-03-11 11:01:24 UTC
When an OAuth2 bearer token is used for an HTTP(S) transfer, and that transfer
performs a redirect to a second URL, curl could leak that token to the second
hostname under some circumstances.

If the hostname that the first request is redirected to has information in the
used .netrc file, with either of the `machine` or `default` keywords, curl
would pass on the bearer token set for the first host also to the second one.
