Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	---
Doc Text:	A flaw was found in libcurl, a client-side URL transfer library. When public key pinning is configured, but standard peer verification is explicitly disabled, libcurl incorrectly allows connections to proceed without enforcing the public key pinning. This bypass enables unauthenticated connections that should have been rejected, potentially compromising the integrity of the connection.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-06 18:01:36 UTC

When `CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY` is configured alongside options that disable
standard peer verification (`CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER = 0` and
`CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST = 0`), libcurl fails to enforce public key pinning on
connections established without a presented server certificate. Bypassing the
pinning check under these disabled-verification conditions allows
unauthenticated connections to succeed when they should be rejected.
