Curl maintainers released a single update addressing 18 vulnerabilities across libcurl and curl — including memory-safety issues (double free, use-after-free), improper host validation, and a 25-year-old mTLS connection-reuse authentication bypass (CVE-2026-8932). The report emphasizes AISLE’s role in discovering multiple CVEs, notes the large potential attack surface due to curl’s wide deployment, and states there are no confirmed real-world exploits so far.
