Medium · 5.3 CVE-2026-7168 EUVD-2026-29932GHSA-v92m-hrhj-gw54

cross-proxy Digest auth state leak

Published May 13, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026 · Assigned by curl

Description

Successfully using libcurl to do a transfer over a specific HTTP proxy
(`proxyA`) with **Digest** authentication and then changing the proxy host to
a second one (`proxyB`) for a second transfer, reusing the same handle, makes
libcurl wrongly pass on the `Proxy-Authorization:` header field meant for
`proxyA`, to `proxyB`.
