CVE-2026-13608 is an authentication bypass in libcurl's OpenLDAP SASL negotiation. An incomplete authentication handshake can be incorrectly accepted as successful cryptographic verification. A man-in-the-middle attacker can inject a premature or shortcut response, causing libcurl to bypass complete peer validation and potentially compromising the confidentiality and integrity of the authentication exchange.
