  - libcurl might in some circumstances reuse the wrong connection for SMB(S) transfers. libcurl features a
    pool of recent connections so that subsequent requests can reuse an existing connection to avoid overhead.
    When reusing a connection a range of criteria must be met. Due to a logical error in the code, a network
    transfer operation that was requested by an application could wrongfully reuse an existing SMB connection
    to the same server that was using a different share than the new subsequent transfer should. This could
    in unlucky situations lead to the download of the wrong file or the upload of a file to the wrong place.
    When this happens, the same credentials are used and the server name is the same. (CVE-2026-5773)

  - Using libcurl, when a custom `Host:` header is first set for an HTTP request and a second request is
    subsequently done using the same *easy handle* but without the custom `Host:` header set, the second
    request would use stale information and pass on cookies meant for the first host in the second request.
    Leak them. (CVE-2026-6276)

  - Successfully using libcurl to do a transfer over a specific HTTP proxy (`proxyA`) with **Digest**
    authentication and then changing the proxy host to a second one (`proxyB`) for a second transfer, reusing
    the same handle, makes libcurl wrongly pass on the `Proxy-Authorization:` header field meant for `proxyA`,
    to `proxyB`. (CVE-2026-7168)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
