CRITICALCVSS 9.1/10EPSS 0.27%
Last modified
CVE-2026-86414 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.1/10 on the CVSS scale. An HTTP proxy can trick libcurl into sending the origin's credentials (Basic password, or a Negotiate/Kerberos ticket) to the proxy itself, by answering the `CONNECT` tunnel request with 401 `WWW-Authenticate:` instead of the expected 407 `Proxy-Authenticate:`.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An HTTP proxy can trick libcurl into sending the origin's credentials (Basic password, or a Negotiate/Kerberos ticket) to the proxy itself, by answering the `CONNECT` tunnel request with 401 `WWW-Authenticate:` instead of the expected 407 `Proxy-Authenticate:`.
