"The version of curl installed on the remote host is 7.62.0 prior to 8.23.0. It is, therefore, affected by
an information disclosure vulnerability:

  - libcurl could accidentally return a URL for curl_easy_getinfo()'s CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL
    option containing credentials, even though neither the URL provided to libcurl nor the
    redirected URL did. (CVE-2026-94266)

number.");
