Overview

curl is a command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET and TFTP. libcurl offers a myriad of powerful features.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Control Bypass via improper handling of the Set-Cookie header when the Domain attribute matches a public suffix. An attacker can cause cookies to be sent to arbitrary sibling subdomains by setting a cookie with a domain scope that matches a public suffix, leading to potential session hijacking or unauthorized access.
