Use of insecure channel - Source code In curl

Description

When reusing a libcurl handle for sequential transfers driven by environment-variable proxy configuration, libcurl fails to clear the proxy authentication state between requests. Specifically, if the initial transfer authenticates against proxyA using Digest auth, a subsequent transfer routed through proxyB erroneously leaks the Proxy-Authorization: header intended solely for proxyA.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
