CVE-2025-0167
February 05, 2025
In curl before 8.12.0, when asked to use a .netrc file for credentials and to follow HTTP redirects, curl could leak the password used for the first host to the followed-to host under certain circumstances.
This flaw only manifests itself if the netrc file has a default entry that omits both login and password. A rare circumstance.
