Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2024-11053 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.4/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 1.35% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
