Oct 15 EXPLOIT PUBLISHED — CVE-2024-11053 (curl). Public exploit reference added.
Description
When asked to both 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 an entry that matches
the redirect target hostname but the entry either omits just the password or
omits both login and password.
