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 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.
