CVE-2026-92386: server-set cookie aborts cookie jar load

• Severity: high (CVSS 8.1 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.8% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-10-20 · updated 2026-10-29
• Weakness: CWE-1284

Description

When writing a long cookie name and value to a Netscape cookie jar, a remote HTTP server can make `curl` write a record that exceeds its line-length parsing limit. Consequently, any subsequent `curl` invocation reading from that same cookie jar using `--cookie` silently aborts parsing prematurely upon encountering the too long line, ignoring all subsequent valid cookies in the file.

Affected products

• curl: from 8.22.0 through 8.22.0; from 8.21.0 through 8.21.0; from 8.20.0 through 8.20.0; from 8.19.0 through 8.19.0; from 8.18.0 through 8.18.0; from 8.17.0 through 8.17.0
