CVE-2026-94266: password leak in CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL

HighCVSS 7.5 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.55% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: azl3 curl 8.11.1-12 on Azure Linux 3.0 8.11.1-13.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to azl3 curl 8.11.1-12 on Azure Linux 3.0 8.11.1-13 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

libcurl could accidentally return a URL for `curl_easy_getinfo()`'s `CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL` option containing credentials, even though neither the URL provided to libcurl nor the redirected URL did.
