An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-9079 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-2026-9079/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-9079/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-9079","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-9079/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-9079","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2026-9079","AZL-91791","AZL-91848","BELL-CVE-2026-9079","CURL-CVE-2026-9079","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-9079","ECHO-69b0-b240-599b","GHSA-f4cv-xm48-3694","JLSEC-2026-1218","MINI-37rf-3x63-3g8g","MINI-c256-f72h-x79x","ROOT-OS-ALPINE-320-CVE-2026-9079","ROOT-OS-ALPINE-321-CVE-2026-9079","ROOT-OS-ALPINE-322-CVE-2026-9079","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2026-9079","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-9079"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"libcurl library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"libcurl fails to clear proxy credentials, allowing attackers to access stale passwords in subsequent transfers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"curl","cpe":[{"product":"curl","vendor":"haxx"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"libcurl had a flaw that when instructed to clear proxy authentication\ncredentials which made it not do so, leaving the old credentials around to get\nused for subsequent transfers that should not know nor use them.","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":"stale proxy password leak","id":"CVE-2026-9079","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"haxx:curl","products":["haxx:curl"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"UAF after pause in socket callback","id":"CVE-2026-9080"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Firefox iOS RTL Domain Rendering Issue in Link Preview","id":"CVE-2026-9078"},"products":["curl"],"published":"2026-07-03","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":"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":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-15","vendors":["curl"]},"summary":"libcurl fails to clear proxy credentials, allowing attackers to access stale passwords in subsequent transfers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-9079/"}
