Last modified
CVE-2026-8924 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.1/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw in curl’s cookie parsing logic allows a malicious HTTP server to set 'super cookies' that bypass the Public Suffix List check. This enables an attacker-controlled origin to inject cookies that curl subsequently scopes and transmits to unrelated third-party domains.. EPSS estimates a 0.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
