Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficiently Protected Credentials via the CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL process. An attacker can access sensitive authentication credentials by querying the effective URL metadata after credentials are sourced from a local configuration file. This is only exploitable if a local user or process with execution access intentionally requests and logs or displays the resolved destination address containing authentication tokens.
