Last modified
CVE-2026-87865 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. When libcurl uses libssh2 with a hashed `known_hosts` file, an unrelated initial entry can cause host key validation to report a key *mismatch* as a *missing* key to the `CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION` callback.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
