patch available.

  - A flaw was found in libsoup. After a CONNECT tunnel is established through an HTTP proxy, libsoup
    incorrectly attaches the Proxy-Authorization header to subsequent HTTPS requests sent through that tunnel
    to the destination server. This allows the destination server to capture proxy credentials, leading to
    information disclosure. (CVE-2026-66339)
