"When doing HTTP(S) transfers, libcurl might erroneously use the read
callback (`CURLOPT_READFUNCTION`) to ask for data to send, even when
the `CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS` option has been set, if the same handle
previously was used to issue a `PUT` request which used that callback.
This flaw may surprise the application and cause it to misbehave and
either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in
the subsequent `POST` request. The problem exists in the logic for a
reused handle when it is changed from a PUT to a POST.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
