• Public exploit or detection template: yes
• Published: 2026-09-06 · updated 2026-09-15

Description

A flaw in the libcurl SASL negotiation for LDAP authentication allows an incomplete handshake sequence to be misinterpreted as a successful cryptographic verification.

Upgrade to a fixed version: curl 8.22.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
