Business information leak In curl

Description

A vulnerability in libcurl caused the HTTP Referer: header to persist even when explicitly cleared. While the documentation states that passing NULL to CURLOPT_REFERER suppresses the header, the option failed to clear the internal state. As a result the previous referrer string was erroneously reused and sent in subsequent requests, potentially leaking sensitive information to unintended servers.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
