Critical · 9.8 CVE-2026-11856 EUVD-2026-41501GHSA-9crq-qh8v-6xmm

cross-origin Digest auth state leak

Published Jul 3, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026 · Assigned by curl

Description

Successfully using libcurl to do a transfer to a specific HTTP origin
(`hostA`) with **Digest** authentication and then changing the origin to a
different one (`hostB`) for a second transfer, reusing the same handle, makes
libcurl wrongly pass on the `Authorization:` header field meant for `hostA`,
to `hostB`.
