When an OAuth2 bearer token is used for an HTTP(S) transfer, and that transfer performs a cross-protocol redirect to a second URL that uses an IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP scheme, curl might wrongly pass on the bearer token to the new target host.

Multiple Vulnerabilities in Curl

An update of the curl package has been released.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:0066-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2025-14524: Fixed bearer token leak on cross-protocol redirect (bsc#1255731)
      - CVE-2025-15079: Fixed unknown host connection acceptance when set in the global knownhostsfile     (bsc#1255733)
      - CVE-2025-14819: Fixed issue where alteration of CURLSSLOPT_NO_PARTIALCHAIN could       accidentally lead to CA cache reuse for which partial chain was reversed (bsc#1255732)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:0052-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2025-14524: bearer token leak on cross-protocol redirect (bsc#1255731).
    - CVE-2025-14819: libssh global knownhost override (bsc#1255732).
    - CVE-2025-15079: libssh key passphrase bypass without agent set (bsc#1255733).
    - CVE-2025-15224: OpenSSL partial chain store policy bypass (bsc#1255734).

The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:0050-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2025-14524: bearer token leak on cross-protocol redirect (bsc#1255731).
    - CVE-2025-14819: libssh global knownhost override (bsc#1255732).

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

The version of curl installed on the remote host is prior to 8.17.0 / 8.18.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2026-007-01 advisory.

    New curl packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - When an OAuth2 bearer token is used for an HTTP(S) transfer, and that transfer performs a cross-protocol     redirect to a second URL that uses an IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP scheme, curl might wrongly pass on the     bearer token to the new target host. (CVE-2025-14524)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
