There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - When asking curl to use a `.netrc` file to find credentials and at the same time specifying a URL with a

 password for *another* user set in the `.netrc` file for that host if such a one exists and there is no
 match for the specified user. (CVE-2026-8926)
