Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-04-23 16:48:54 UTC
A flaw was found in libcurl. An application using libcurl that performs an authenticated HTTP(S) request after a Negotiate-authenticated one to the same host may incorrectly reuse the previous connection. This authentication bypass vulnerability allows the second request to be sent over a connection authenticated with different credentials, potentially leading to unauthorized access or information disclosure.
