Last modified
CVE-2026-86412 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. A remote HTTP server can set a cookie that curl accepts and writes to a Netscape cookie jar but cannot reload. On the next invocation using the same path for `--cookie` and `--cookie-jar`, curl fails before connecting, then the cleanup procedure replaces the jar with an empty file, deleting cookies for unrelated domains.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
