Sensitive information sent insecurely In curl
Description
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.
Mitigation
Update Impact
Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
