CVE-2026-8926

A flaw was found in curl. When curl is configured to use a .netrc file for credentials and a URL is provided with a username but no password, curl may incorrectly retrieve and use the password for a different user from the .netrc file for the same host. This could lead to unauthorized information disclosure, as curl might connect using unintended credentials.
