CVE-2025-15224  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:20.04 curl to version 7.68.0-1ubuntu2.25+esm2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

When doing SSH-based transfers using either SCP or SFTP, and asked to do public key authentication, curl would wrongly still ask and authenticate using a locally running SSH agent.
