An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-15079 exists.\n\nAffected product: Haxx Curl. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-15079/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-15079/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-15079","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-15079/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-15079","record":{"aliases":["CLSA-2026-1771501223","CLSA-2026-1771501913","CURL-CVE-2025-15079","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-15079","ECHO-77ba-e0af-7bbd","GHSA-7q9p-cx8r-rh2q","JLSEC-2026-430","MINI-vcq9-jwg7-42gr","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-15079","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-15079","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-15079"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"libcurl SSH library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"libcurl may bypass host key verification by accepting hosts from the global known_hosts file instead of the specified one during SSH transfers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"curl","cpe":[{"product":"curl","vendor":"haxx"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-297","name":"Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch"}],"description":"When doing SSH-based transfers using either SCP or SFTP, and setting the\nknown_hosts file, libcurl could still mistakenly accept connecting to hosts\n*not present* in the specified file if they were added as recognized in the\nlibssh *global* known_hosts file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"libssh global known_hosts override","id":"CVE-2025-15079","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"haxx:curl","products":["haxx:curl"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Other in MELSEC iQ-R Series R08PCPU","id":"CVE-2025-15080"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"itsourcecode Student Management System list_report.php sql injection","id":"CVE-2025-15078"},"products":["curl"],"published":"2026-01-08","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Negotiate ambient user conn reuse","id":"CVE-2026-19931","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"HTTP/2 stream-dependency tree UAF","id":"CVE-2026-10536","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"cross-origin Digest auth state leak","id":"CVE-2026-11856","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SASL double-free","id":"CVE-2026-8925","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"stale proxy password leak","id":"CVE-2026-9079","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in curl","id":"CVE-2016-4606","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9953","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-15","vendors":["curl"]},"summary":"libcurl may bypass host key verification by accepting hosts from the global known_hosts file instead of the specified one during SSH transfers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-15079/"}
